How does it work and what can you do afterwards?
A student can enter a Graduate Programme either at the Master's level or at the PhD level. After the first two years, the student who has obtained the master's degree can continue to apply for a doctorate or pursue other career paths.
Approximately 30% of students who have completed the first two years of a graduate programme go on to pursue the PhD level (rate varies by Graduate Programmes)
After graduated from the programme, whether you decide to pursue your career path or continue with PhD research projects, your profile will be very interesting to companies in many industrial sectors. You can always benefit from the best advice from our academic team to build you career development plan.
