A career? It’s really important to me
A degree opens up a lot of options as far as your future career is concerned. During your studies you can build up a network of contacts, expand your knowledge and develop your personal skills. Without a degree, sooner or later you’ll probably find that you won’t be able to move to the next rung on the career ladder. Studying also allows you to choose from a wider range of career paths, because many companies prefer to hire graduates for certain positions. And for some jobs a degree is a prerequisite.
Security and peace of mind? Yes, please!
There are no guarantees, but unemployment rates are lower among graduates than other groups. With a degree, you’ll have more job options to choose from.
I want to keep on learning
You think this can’t be all there is to learn? Want to study new topics or you’re interested in exploring a particular subject in more depth? Then a degree is the way to go because it opens the door to a whole new world – regardless of the subject you decide to focus on. But if you’ve had enough of studying, a degree programme probably isn’t right for you. Maybe a more suitable time to start a degree will come up somewhere down the line.
More freedom, more independence – sounds good to me!
Studying often means moving to a new town, away from home, and having your own apartment for the first time. On the whole, it’s a question of taking charge of your own life and making your own decisions. It’s a step that comes with new-found freedoms. Many people look back longingly on their time at university. And for a good reason!
I want to meet new people
No matter what type of university you choose to study at, you’ll definitely meet lots of new people. They might turn out to be friends for life or useful contacts for your future career: either way, you’ll be studying alongside people who you wouldn’t have met otherwise.
I want to spend time abroad
A semester abroad is an option on almost all degree programmes. It means you can kill two birds with one stone by combining a stay in another country with your studies. Many degree programme curriculums also include a practical training semester, and in most cases you can spend yours abroad. Which is another good opportunity to gain international experience.
You think that education is a worthwhile investment
Education is an asset that delivers all sorts of returns. It enables you to grow as an individual. And you can develop soft skills, like communication, presenting and teamwork. Precisely the kinds of things that boost your self-confidence.
Sounds attractive? Then studying is probably the right choice for you. The next step is to pick a suitable degree programme. You can find a list of the degrees offered at IMC Krems here.
