Detail: People sign up for postgraduate programmes for vastly different reasons. Some believe that an MBA after their names will ensure higher pay, while others do it so that they can move into a different area of work altogether. Some believe that the knowledge and skills gathered can help them in their work, while others feel that having a postgraduate qualification would give them an advantage over those who don't when it comes to securing a job. Whatever the reasons, more people today are beginning to feel a greater need for higher qualifications. As society becomes more sophisticated, the need for people with higher qualifications increases – employers need people who are authorities in their field of specialisation. How do employees prove to their employers that they have what it takes to get the job done? Experience of projects handled? Yes, but paper qualifications help too. The need For some jobs, higher qualifications are a must: if you wish to teach students at undergraduate level, you'll need postgraduate qualifications. In Malaysia, you'll need a master degree to teach undergraduates and a PhD to teach students on masters degree or PhD programmes. Colleges and universities insist that you must have the right qualifications before they will take you on. Work experience might not even be a major consideration here. In other sectors, the need for postgraduate qualifications is not so clearly defined. For instance, if an executive in the finance and administration department of a medium to large organisation would like to be considered for a managerial position, some years of experience and an MBA would be beneficial, because it proves to a certain extent that he or she has the knowledge and skills required by managers. People are seldom promoted based solely on academic qualifications – performance at work and experience are very important. If you have a technical background and you want to move into senior management or if you want to start your own business, a postgraduate qualification in business or management is also advantageous. http://www.postgradasia.com/
