but with an entirely different background.
“I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity,” wrote former Supreme Court Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes Jr., “but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.”
Studying for a MSc will give a student further time to develop the soft skills that employers are also looking for. Cass MSc students are encouraged to build their professional network and engage with employers through their course or via the Careers and Professional Development team.
Not everyone is clear on the career path they wish to pursue
at the age of 21. Feedback from employers is that postgraduate students often exhibit more maturity and a greater understanding of commercial awareness, two areas that are often lacking in undergraduate candidates.
However, a specialised MSc degree on its own is not enough to guarantee employment. Employers are looking for all-rounders – strong academics, extracurricular activities, work experience (ideally relevant) and a focus on the industry that the student has applied to.
