A Bachelor’s degree helps you to get your first job with interesting assignments and a good salary. But maybe you have learned things in your Bachelor programme you want to explore further? Or you want to focus on completely new fields of knowledge? Or you think about working in research and development or even doing a PhD? Some professional careers are eased by a Master’s degree, and for others, such a degree is essential.
