University Career Pathways
A job interview lets the employer get to know you beyond your resume. They’re looking to see if you're a good fit for the role, the team, and the company.
Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD
What Do They Mean?
Bachelor's
This is the first level of university education, typically lasting 3–4 years depending on the country and program.
Master's
A Master’s is a graduate-level degree you can pursue after completing your Bachelor’s. It usually takes 1–2 years.
PhD
A PhD is the highest academic degree, focusing heavily on original research. It typically takes 3–7 years to complete after a Master’s (or sometimes directly after a strong Bachelor’s).
Why Should I Pursue them?
Bachelor's
A bachelor’s degree opens the door to many entry-level careers, internships, and professional opportunities. It also allows you to explore your interests and sets the stage for further education if you choose to specialize later.
Master's
A master’s can give you a competitive edge in the job market, lead to higher-paying roles, and offer access to leadership or specialized positions. It’s also great for personal growth and professional confidence.
PhD
A PhD is ideal if you’re passionate about research, want to teach at the university level, or aim to become a thought leader or specialist. It’s intellectually rewarding and opens doors to academic, research, and high-level policy roles.
