A postgraduate degree can open new career opportunities

In a video published on Aston University’s official YouTube channel, MBA student Monique Ferguson shares why she chose to pursue a postgraduate degree, what she values about studying at Aston University, and why Birmingham is an excellent city for international students.

Why choose a postgraduate degree?

According to Monique, postgraduate study can improve career prospects and increase employability. She explains that it can open doors to new opportunities, help students build valuable professional connections, and even support those looking to change career paths.

She also highlights that postgraduate study allows students to develop their knowledge and skills beyond what they gained during their undergraduate degree.

Why Aston University?

Monique says that one of the reasons she chose Aston University is its strong student community. She describes the Students’ Union as a welcoming place where students can socialise, meet new people, and feel part of the university community. She also points out that Aston University is recognised for its business and management education and offers the Aston Global Advantage programme, which helps students develop the skills needed for today’s global business environment.

Support for Future Entrepreneurs

For students interested in starting their own business, Monique highlights the opportunities available through Aston University’s Startup Support programme and Enterprise Scholarship. She explains that these initiatives provide valuable support for students with entrepreneurial ambitions.

Why Study in Birmingham?

Monique describes Birmingham as one of the UK’s leading centres for business and industry, with major companies such as HSBC, Amazon, and ASOS operating in the city. She also notes that Birmingham has a thriving start-up ecosystem. Beyond career opportunities, she says the city offers a vibrant multicultural environment, excellent dining and entertainment options, and a lower cost of living than London while still providing the benefits of a major international city.
