experience in education and career will help you pursue a certain master’s degree it should also include your motivation for studying a particular course at a particularly University clearly demonstrate your career plans and finally you should choose two people who will be your referees and will submit references on you to particularly interest usually one of your references must be

work experience fact number seven usually you don’t have to do the same course at masters level as your first degree so if you studied for example geography at the bachelors level you can still do finance as a master’s course universities will consider applicants with non-relevant degrees if they can clearly demonstrate the relevant work experience or genuine interest in a particular field of course it will depend on University and the course you’re applying to but don’t be afraid to explore a new field of study fact number eight masters courses are usually one year long if you’re going to study a full-time course or two years long if you’re going to do a master’s course part-time number nine it is easier to get a scholarship to study a master’s degree rather than and get a scholarship
