Postgraduate studies or graduate school as is typically called in USA, refers to studies done after completing your bachelor’s degree. This can be in the form of a Master’s degree or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a Doctorate (PhD.). It typically involves in-depth study of a subject and can take between 1-2 years to complete, depending upon the program you choose. Ideally, post-graduation studies are done based on career choices, so you can master the subject you wish to pursue a career in. These studies are designed to build on the knowledge obtained at undergraduate degree level. Though, the course content is more practical in nature to better prepare you with skills needed in the workplace.

In today’s competitive world, a post-graduation degree enables you to ‘get your foot into the door’ of the organization you may wish to be a part of. Most multi-national companies seek students with post-graduation degrees to authenticate their knowledge and skills on the subject. Those wishing to pursue a MBA must have 1-2 years of work experience before seeking admission in the program, for the student to relate to the course matter and fully appreciate the value of the course.
