FIVE REASONS TO STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON
Become An Expert
Advanced skills are sought after by employers across all sectors*. Businesses need experts who understand their challenges and know how to solve them. By completing your Master's Degree you’ll put yourself in a great position, as every course is designed to help you explore your industry in more depth. You’ll gain specialist knowledge and skills that can help you get ahead in your career.
If you’re intrigued by the world of research, this is the perfect stepping stone. After a postgraduate course, you could share your expertise as a lecturer or carry out research in your chosen field, which is a brilliant way to make a positive impact in the world.
Change Careers
Want to try something new? Stop waiting for that promotion or saying ‘next year’ – now’s the time. Postgraduate study gives you the opportunity to completely change careers if you find yourself working or studying in a field you no longer enjoy. From law to architecture – we offer conversion courses in a range of subject areas.
You want to be your own boss? We can help you embrace and develop your entrepreneurial side and give you the opportunities you need to experiment with your own creativity and ideas.
BALANCE STUDY & LIFE
The idea of juggling everything can seem overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. Many of our postgraduate courses benefit from our flexible teaching model and our student support ensures that you can balance studying around your lifestyle. Our libraries are open 24/7, so you can study when it suits you.
If studying full-time doesn’t work for you, explore our part-time courses or study from anywhere in the world with distance learning options. Have kids? No problem – we have top childcare facilities at our Docklands campus so you can attend lectures knowing your little ones are in safe hands.
