Deciding whether you want to go Uni is a big decision. It isn’t for everyone, but it may be for you. Here are a few of the benefits.

Benefits of University

• Builds Transferable Skills
  Transferable skills are so important as you can apply them to basic tasks or jobs at any point in your life.
• Potential to Earn More
  Even though you’re still young and might not be thinking too far into the future, it’s a good idea to have some sort of plan. This will help you make decisions and think about what you need to do/achieve to get to where you want to be.
• Access to Specialist Jobs
  There are so many people that wished they had tried harder at their education when they were younger as they find themselves restricted in the types of jobs they can apply for. A degree will provide you with the potential to earn more money in the future.
• Makes You More Employable to Some Employers
  Finding a job doesn’t come easy these days, there’s a lot of competition. Although a degree isn’t what all employers look for, there are certain jobs that you’ll need a degree for. Some of these are jobs such as, doctors, lawyers, accountants and more.
• Chances to Study Abroad
  You might not want to study abroad, but wouldn’t you at least like the opportunity? Studying abroad is a great step for your personal development, as you’ll be completely independent. You’ll also get to experience new and different cultures and find new hobbies and interests.
• Improves Your Knowledge
  You may think you know all there is to know on a subject and that you can’t be told anything you don’t already know. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Expanding your current knowledge can be exciting and you should always be open to learning something new. This will help you become more employable; employers will want you to work for them because you have more experience than other candidates.
• Make Life-Long Friends
  Most people make life-long friends at university. You will be meeting people that share the same interests as you, not to mention, you’ll be going through three years of studies together.
• Become Independent
  It’s easy to think that you’re already independent. But… do you pay all your own bills? Do you do your own shopping, and washing and ironing? Being at Uni will really give you some perspective about what it means to be ‘grown up’ and how much our family takes care of us.
• Personal Growth
  Now that your education has come to end…it’s down to you to determine whether you would like to continue your studies. At Uni, you will learn more about yourself that perhaps you didn’t know already. You will continuously learn new skills and life lessons.
• Experience Different Cultures
  Sometimes, we can be ignorant to other cultures and not realise the beauty of them. You will be meeting all different kinds of people, people from different backgrounds, religions, beliefs, and with different interests.
• Making Professional Connections
  Attending university is all about furthering your career. As we have already mentioned, at Uni you will meet all kinds of people who will go on to work at all levels in a wide variety of organisations. This could help you in your own career even if it’s much later in life.
• Work Placement
  Employers look for people that have experience in their field. Work placement gives you the chance to work in a professional environment, understand what will be asked of you and how to do the job properly.
• Better Facilities to Learn In
  You will have access to all the necessary learning tools and facilities that can help you get ahead in your field.
• You Get a Degree
  It might seem like 3 years is a long time for extra study when you have the choice not to. However, it will be worth it at the end to know that all the hard work has paid off.
