What my Master’s did for me
James
By doing a master’s, it is unlocking so many employment doors for me.
Erestina
It just gave me more practical knowledge. It wasn't just reading a book or having a conversation with your lecturer. I loved it.
Max
It gave me numerous skills and that enabled me to access funding for a PhD, but also skills that broaden my ability to pursue a career in academia.
James
You become so much more employable when you've got a specialism on your CV.
Olivia
I feel really honoured to be able to have used all the things I've learnt of my degrees to now attain my current role, which is a full time teaching fellow position to facilitate other students learning.
James
I'm now an associate lecturer. I now supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students. There's so many skills that you gain from just literally just doing a master's.
Sophie
The transferable skills that I learnt while I was at university, which I use my job today in research and development for the Ministry of Defence, are working at pace and working to deadlines.
James
Communicating with people better and writing emails better.
Sophie
And also applying the knowledge that I learnt during my course to projects that I work on in my career.
Erestina
I studied in a small city in Greece. I really wanted to move because of the student loan. It made my everyday life easier and less stressful.
James
I give so much thanks to the University of Portsmouth because they've been so incredible and so inspirational for me. Unequivocally, I completely recommend anyone to come and do a master's at the University of Portsmouth today.
