What's so good about university?

A degree course is your chance to take the subject you love most and go as far with it as you want. You’ll discover whole new aspects to the things you thought you knew, and uncover things you didn’t know you were interested in.

Three (or four) years of this kind of discovery makes a graduate much sought-after, especially in a tough job market. A good degree is an essential start in any career and the first step in life-time earnings up to 50% more than a non-graduate.

You may acquire skills and knowledge that are directly required by the job you choose, but the real key to university is that it will help you in any career because it gives you the skills to think clearly.

Of course there’s more to university than what you do with it after you leave. It’s an intense period in your life, where you can build your self-belief in the company of like-minded (and completely different!) people. Living away from home can bring an exhilarating sense of independence (and the life-changing experience of doing your own laundry).

Leaving your home town to go to university means giving serious consideration to what kind of place you want to study in. Some campuses are perfect for those students who aren’t attracted to the city life. As Cass is within walking distance of a global financial centre, and in the heart of a great world city, it’s an ideal choice for students who want to lead the ultra-urban life.
