An honours or masters degree can make it easier to transition into more senior positions, such as management and leadership. Many organisations not only recognise the benefits, but even prefer their employees to have a graduate degree. In certain industries, such as engineering, computer science, medicine, science or information technology, postgraduate degrees offer mandatory training and the best path for certain jobs or promotions.

By earning a postgraduate degree, you can significantly increase your income, with an average earnings of around $1,600 per week. In certain fields, you will find that with a masters degree you will earn even more than those with an honours degree – due to the it being more specialised.
