    A Master’s Degree: The Quintessential Career Booster

    Opting to delay your entry into the workforce and enhancing your skills by pursuing a master’s is a sure-fire investment into your future

    Landing your dream job after graduation sounds like a Hollywood fantasy movie plot. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Waiting years before achieving a career milestone or taking a detour from your desired career track is the norm.
    Take it from us at Hult, boosting your education to the master’s level makes you far more irresistible to potential employers. Not only does it demonstrate your intelligence, but it proves you have a strong understanding of your chosen field.

    The crunch effect
    The recession appears to have created a buzz about further postgraduate study. Indeed there has been a sharp increase in the number of applications for master’s degrees – people are trying to make the best of the economic crisis, and enhancing their employability for when the economy rebounds.

    And the good news is, the job outlook for graduating master’s students is looking very positive. CollegeGrad.com, the number one entry-level job site in the US, reported that employment opportunities for those with a master’s degree were expected to soar by 22 per cent over a year. In addition 59 per cent of companies participating in one of its surveys were preparing to hire more master’s graduates in 2008 than 2007. Heidi Hanisko from CollegeGrad.com said: “Those with master’s degrees offer a level of education that can be the equivalent to as much as two or three years of experience in the field. Employers find that master’s candidates have a greater level of technical and field expertise that can bolster a company’s competitive stance in the industry.”

    If you are thinking of taking advantage of the fantastic employment prospects for people with a master’s, Hult offers an excellent portfolio of Master’s programs, including the highly acclaimed Master of International Business, Master of International Relations and Master of Finance. Not only do they provide a thorough grounding in theoretical concepts, we are also pivotal in giving you real-world experience. A large segment of our faculty are active directors of corporations, consultants or managers, bringing their prized experiences and insights into the classroom. The strengths of the Hult programs have also been reflected in the global rankings, placing us at #31 in the World according to the Economist Intelligence Unit and #6 for International Mobility by the Financial Times.

    Journey to the top

We have been educating business leaders since 1964 as the Arthur D. Little School of Management, and we evolve our courses to fit with global demands and circumstances.
    Our Master of International Relations is a perfect example of this. The field of International Relations continues to develop rapidly in response to dramatic global changes. Students of this program will develop the skills to analyze these issues, and learn how to shape institutional responses to global change.

    Furthermore, unlike many master’s courses, our Master of International Business has been carefully crafted to meet the requirements of recent graduates, without the need for extensive work experience. Following our top-ranked MBA curriculum, graduating from this course will open numerous doors at a variety of multinational companies.

    Your career progression
    Many students embark on a master’s in the hope they will take on a lucrative position following graduation – they are not wrong. According to QS, a leading network for people in higher education, evidence that students with master degrees earn more than those with undergraduate degrees is rife. The QS International Recruiter Survey 2007, an annual survey involving 498 international employers in North America and Asia, illustrates that the salary difference between an employee with an undergraduate degree and a postgraduate qualification can be as much as 71 per cent.
