Further Study

Further study can enable you to enhance your job prospects, particularly if you need to develop specific vocational skills related to your chosen career (ie Book keeping, Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or to develop relevant work related skills (such as computing). Many can be taken as short courses, part time or on a distance learning basis.

Postgraduate Study

There are an increasing number of postgraduate qualifications available to pursue once you have completed your degree. There is no main database such as UCAS for these however Prospects do have a good postgraduate course section:
