有些人想重返大学校园，继续学习深造，提高技能，以助事业更上一层楼。重返校园还有哪些好处？

 

Education is a good opportunity for those of us who strive to better ourselves. But for people in full-time¹ employment, getting the balancing act between work and studying can prove a stumbling block. So, what are the benefits of hitting the books once in work?

 

Uni is often considered a logical step for people who wish to continue their education after school. While options of Master’s degrees, PhDs and other postgraduate² qualifications exist, many students leave after obtaining their Bachelor’s and head into the world of work. After years of doing the same job, some feel adding new skills or knowledge to their locker³ may open up new opportunities or help them to get a promotion⁴. Studying part-time in the evenings and weekends can be a great way to juggle⁵ responsibilities.

 

In terms of the benefits, learning new techniques that you can bring into the workplace can make you more of an authority in your area and a go-to person for advice. If the business has a skills shortage, you may be able to step up to the plate and fill that gap. In short, studying more could make you more promotable down the line and more useful to the business.

 

If you study in a classroom, your experience of the workplace could bring a wealth of knowledge to other students and provide real-life examples for you to draw on. You may also meet like-minded people who you can add to your professional network in the future. And while adult learners have to consider things like children, homelives and work, many adult and part-time courses are more flexible and spread over a number of years. Some courses can even be done partly or entirely⁶ online, which means that you can manage your time more easily studying from home and you don’t need to factor in travel time.

 

So, there are a variety of options for those who wish to return to studying. And increasing your skills may open up new careers or opportunities in your professional life.
