Thinking About University?
If you’re looking to continue your education after the Academy, then you may well be thinking of going on to University. This could give you an employability advantage too, especially if you’re going to be studying an industry-relevant subject with high technical content.
Not all, but a lot of employers these days are looking for a degree-level education so a few years at University could very well get your foot in quite a few more doors in the future.
