Why Study Business and Can Do With a Business Degree from University

Business Degree from University , Why Study Business
Why Study Business and Can Do With a Business Degree from University
Business and related subjects (such as the ‘FAME’ group – finance, accounting, management and economics) are among the most popular fields of study at universities worldwide, particularly at graduate level. You might have some vague ideas about why this is the case – business graduates are in high demand worldwide, business touches on pretty much every aspect of modern human society, careers with a business degree are diverse and often highly paid – and these assumptions are likely to be largely true.
What Can You Do With a Business Degree? main image

But if you’re still not quite convinced, here’s a deeper exploration of the question, ‘Why study business?’

First, it’s important to recognize that there are many different types of business degrees to choose from, offering different specializations and benefits, and applicable to people at different stages of development and with very different career goals.

Types of business degrees

The term ‘business degrees’ is typically understood to include a fairly wide group of courses, some highly specialized and others more interdisciplinary; some more academic and others primarily focused on practical professional development. You can categorize types of business degrees by level (ie. undergraduate, graduate, professional), and also by subject focus. Some of the areas of study likely to be covered by different types of business degrees, either directly or as supplementary elements, include:

Accounting
Management sciences
Computer sciences
Finance
Sociology
Entrepreneurship
Marketing
Law
Modern languages
Human resource management
Quantitative techniques (mathematics)

Strategic management
Economics

At undergraduate level, and on some graduate-level business degrees, students are able to gain a foundation in many of these aspects of the business world, before choosing a specialization. From master’s level onwards, it’s more usual for business degrees to be focused on a particular aspect of business, though there may still be a lot of flexibility for students to shape the course to match their own interests. Meanwhile MBA (Master of Business Administration) and Executive MBA programs are targeted at those who have already gained significant professional experience, and typically have more of a focus on professional development.

Whichever level you study business at, and whatever field of specialization you choose, you can expect all types of business degrees to have a strong emphasis on the practical application of theory, through the use of case studies, problem-solving tasks, project and team work, and often also internships and placement schemes.

Careers with a business degree

The combination of academic challenge and practical focus makes the prospect of studying a business degree highly appealing for those attracted to the competitive yet collaborative learning environment offered by many business schools and departments. But for most people, the answer to the question ‘Why study business?’ is best answered by reference to possible careers with a business degree.

Business graduates go on to work in myriad different sectors, and not all of them are those you would typically associate with business in general. More obvious careers with a business degree include roles in accounting and finance departments, which take in large numbers of business degree graduates. Other sectors with high demand for business graduates include marketing and advertising, as well as retail, sales, human resources and business consultancy. The diversity and plenitude of careers with a business degree underlies the subject’s appeal for many students.

If you’re unsure of how to start developing your career after graduation, you may consider joining one of the many graduate training schemes which many large and international companies run. These often allow graduates to spend time completing traineeships in different parts of the business, and often different regions of the world, before opting for a particular career track to pursue.

You could also use your business degree to pursue roles within SMEs (small- to medium-sized enterprises), innovative new start-ups, charities, non-profit organizations and NGOs. If you have a bright idea and the knowledge to back it up, you may even consider launching your own business,


Depending on your area of interest and the specialization of your business degree, possible careers with a business degree could include:

Management consultancy
Teaching/training
Marketing
Trading
Chartered accountancy
Market research
Advertising
Retail buying
Personnel officer
Investment banking
Retail management
Public relations officer
Bank management
Sales
Distribution and logistics management
Insurance underwriting
Consumer products

Business degree salary expectations

As already mentioned, earnings potential is at the heart of many business’ students motivation. While you shouldn’t expect a huge business degree salary as soon as you graduate, the skills and knowledge gained from a business degree should facilitate your career progression, making it easier to climb into management-level positions with higher salaries.

The message really is: the business degree itself does not automatically mean a high salary – though graduating from a highly reputed business school with strong grades is certainly likely to open up some interesting opportunities and perhaps a large business degree salary. You’ll still need to prove yourself, and be ready to work hard, if you want to reach your career and salary goals – and be prepared for plenty of competition.

In the US 2013-14 PayScale College Salary Report, the average starting business degree salary was reported at US$43,500, with the average mid-career salary at US$71,000. The figures vary depending on the specialization: international business graduates are projected to start on US$43,800 rising to $US83,700 by mid-career; for finance the figures are $49,200 and $87,100; accounting $45,300 and $74,900; human resources $38,000 and $63,900; organizational management $41,900 and $60,300; marketing management $42,100 and $80,200.

For those studying at the master’s level, business degree salary expectations are likely to be higher. According to the latest TopMBA.com Jobs & Salary Trends Report, salaries for MBA graduates average almost US$109,200 in the US and Canada. In Western Europe the average earnings for those with an MBA are a little lower overall – but this varies depending on the country, while expectations in Australia are around US$117,800.

If a top salary is important to you, it may be worth while researching the latest salary trends and forecasts for different business specializations, as well as looking into the world regions reporting highest demand for business graduates.

Transferable skills gained from a business degree

During your business degree you’ll develop a broad knowledge of business operations as well as gaining targeted skills in your specific field, such as customers, markets, finance, operations, strategy, business policy, communications and IT. You’ll typically also be challenged to explore these fields within an international context, though in some cases it will be advantageous to specialize in their application within a particular country or world region.

You can also expect to gain many valuable transferable skills, which can be put to use in both everyday life or if you decide to take a completely different career path. The skills gained from a business degree are likely to include:

An understanding of how organizations operate
Strong communication skills (oral and written)
Analytical and critical thinking
Problem solving
Decision making
Logical thinking
Presentation and report writing skills
Numeracy and an understanding of how to interpret and use financial data
Self-motivation, initiative and effective time management
Project and resource management
A close understanding of economic fluctuations and other external changes affecting business

Whether or not you’re obsessed with becoming the next Sir Alan Sugar (or, for the North Americans among us, Donald Trump), a business degree is a great way to develop many of the transferable skills needed for use in a business environment.

There a number of types of business degree which you can undertake, one of the most common of which is an undergraduate business studies degree. Often a business studies degree will cover subjects such as accounting, finance, management and, increasingly, entrepreneurship. This wide range of subjects reflects the multidisciplinary nature of business, and the importance of understanding all the key elements needed to make a business successful.

If you’re looking for a degree which specializes more in a particular aspect of the business world (e.g. economics or marketing), consider taking a dedicated program in that area, or a joint honours degree (e.g. Business & Economics). The advantage of a joint degree is that you acquire general business skills along with more specialized ones, leaving you well placed when it comes to applying for graduate jobs.

What can you do with a business degree?

So, what can you do with a business degree? If you’re someone who enjoys the professionalism and high-powered nature of big business, then you’re likely to be considering a business degree as a stepping stone to a high-status, high-salary career. In today’s world, corporate business careers are available in pretty much every sector you can think of; all industries need strong leaders, managers, financial advisors and market-savvy decision-makers. For many business graduates, however, the traditional pathways still hold a strong appeal – including careers in the banking and financial sectors, consultancy, human resources and marketing roles.

If a straightforward corporate career is failing to get you excited, then a business program can also give you the skills to create your own business, or to take on business and management roles within more creative industries, be that fashion, media, or even the charity sector.

The good thing about a business studies qualification is that it can open you up to many entry-level roles upon graduation, while still allowing those who wish to specialize further the chance to improve their return on investment with a graduate degree (read: those who study to master’s level may see a much higher starting salary). Examples of postgraduate programs include Masters in Management, Masters in Finance and (for those who’ve gained some professional experience) the Masters in Business Administration (MBA).

For the purposes of this article, I’ll be focusing on business careers that can be gained via an undergraduate-level course, with and without postgraduate study. Read on for examples of typical and not so typical careers with a business degree.

Typical careers with a business degree

Don’t assume that studying business is a one-way route into business leadership and management roles – while this is a common path, business careers span multiple industries. Good business and management skills are key elements of any profitable company, and therefore effective leaders, strategic thinkers and financial experts are all in great demand. Big or small, global or national, companies all over the world are looking for business graduates like you.

Business careers in accounting and finance

Generalised business studies degrees will usually cover aspects of accountancy and finance. But if you wish to pursue a career in accounting or finance, you’ll usually need to gain further qualifications. A good option for business graduates is to apply for a graduate role, and complete a specialized qualification while you work. In many larger companies, the course costs will actually be covered by the employer.

If you do decide to go into accounting or finance, your job may involve reviewing your company’s financial situation both past and present; advising clients and colleagues on tax and expenditure; managing records and business transactions; playing a role in mergers and acquisitions; and taking responsibility for preventing bad practice as well as fraud and negligence.


For more advice on prospective careers and specializations in accounting and finance, view our individual accounting and finance subject guides.

Business careers in management

Becoming a manager is a tough job. There may be long hours, disruptive colleagues or simply a lot going on at once – but someone’s got to do it! The upside is that managerial roles are known for being higher-paid, as well as boasting many opportunities for career progression or even a career U-turn. Managers can be found across all industries and fields, and their job is to provide structure and strategy to a workplace.

Because of the responsibility of such positions, it’s unlikely you’ll find a managerial role without first gaining a further degree or a number of years of mid-level work experience. Despite this, business graduates are well-placed to become a managers later on in life, and with determination and steady career progression an additional degree may not be necessary.

Another option which may appeal is the field of business consultancy. This means working as part of a team, combining your business expertise and analytical skills in order to provide advice to other companies, usually focusing on how to optimise a specific project or part of the business. Projects and clients may vary widely, ensuring plenty of fresh challenges to get to grips with. Or you may specialize in a particular type of business, combining your business knowledge with a second field of interest, such as engineering or logistics.

Business careers in retail and sales

There’s much more to retail and sales than shelf-stacking and cold-calling, especially if you’re armed with a business degree. Opportunities within sales and retail teams are numerous, including shop-based and office-based roles, as well as travelling positions for which a good knowledge of global markets is a must.

For those looking to rise to the higher levels of retail and sales careers, large companies often offer the chance to undertake a graduate training program or trainee management program, in order to fast-track your position within the company. This can be highly valuable in gaining on-the-job experience, while continuing to develop your business and management skills in a commercial world. Such programs can be highly competitive and often require good grades as well as a proven passion for the industry.

Other common graduate careers with a business degree include roles within auditing, banking, communications, distribution, energy and utilities, hospitality and leisure, IT, insurance, journalism, law, logistics, manufacturing, media administration, production management, public relations, the public sector and defense, risk management and tax. As mentioned above, every sector needs good business brains!

Less typical careers with a business degree

And, you may ask, what can you do with a business degree without following the typical routes? Well, you can do rather a lot. Roles requiring business acumen and analytical thinking are innumerable, and your choice of which industry to head into is likely to be based on personal interests. It’s a cliché, but true – if you work for a company, product or service you truly believe in, you’re likely to be more motivated and effective in your role, and progress your career more rapidly.

Business careers in media

Although business studies degrees may not seem like the most creative of pathways, they can in fact lead to lots of roles within creative industries. Media is one such widespread industry, an umbrella term covering TV, film, online, newspaper and magazine publishing, events and more. While you’re unlikely to be directly involved in creative tasks such as writing, video editing or animation production, you’ll need a solid understanding of the media sector within which you’re working. Business careers in media include roles in sales, human resources, PR, finance and accounting, operations, marketing and branding, as well as overall management and strategic direction.

Business careers in marketing and advertising

Opportunities in marketing and advertising are numerous for business graduates, particularly for those with a bit of creative flair. In these industries, business graduates can use the analysis and report-writing skills honed during their degree in order to conduct market research, develop marketing strategies, manage client relationships, liaise with copywriters, designers and printers, analyze markets and evaluate campaign results. You’re likely to be working alongside specialists such as designers, video producers and copywriters, and will need to continually broaden your own skillset to keep pace with changes in technology and market trends.

Business careers in human resources

Business doesn’t have to be a dog-eat-dog world, and careers within human resources offer roles which require both business acumen and highly honed interpersonal skills. Recruitment, training and pay are all areas handled by the HR department. Great communication skills are essential, but you’ll also be expected to have a good basic understanding of business operations and management (which you should have gained during your degree), as well as detailed and up-to-date knowledge of employment laws and company regulations.

Top Chances of Finding University Graduate Jobs Online in US

Finding University Graduate Jobs , Graduate Jobs Online in US
Top Chances of Finding University Graduate Jobs Online in US
A new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW), published today, highlights the US states and sectors offering the best chances of finding graduate jobs online. Massachusetts, Delaware and Washington State emerge as the states with the most favorable online graduate job markets – though federal district Washington DC trumps all three – while STEM, managerial and professional office, and healthcare technical and professional jobs are identified as the graduate roles with highest demand being advertised online.
US Report: Best Chances of Finding Graduate Jobs Online main image

Titled States Online College Job Market: Ranking the States, this report follows CEW’s earlier publication, The Online College Labor Market. The center estimates that 60-70% of jobs in the US are now advertised online, with nearly 4 million unique job advertisements posted online each quarter. Some 80-90% of jobs requiring at least a bachelor’s degree are advertised online, compared to 50% of jobs which don’t require a degree. Three out of every five online job adverts are for either managerial or professional office roles, or for jobs in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

The center also highlights the benefits of hunting for jobs online; overall, it reports that those who search for jobs online find a position 25% more quickly than those who don’t.

Which US states offer the best chances of finding graduate jobs online?

The report analyses the number of graduate jobs advertised online in each state, relative to the number of graduate workers in the area. This is used to calculate the US states offering the best chances of finding graduate jobs online, relative to the national average. Massachusetts comes top of this list, followed by Delaware (which boasts a high concentration of corporate headquarters) and Washington State (home to tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon).

Also above the national average on this measure of graduate job prospects are: Colorado, Alaska, Arizona, Oregon, Minnesota, Texas, Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, North Carolina, Michigan and Virginia.


But in fact the most favorable location for finding graduate jobs online is not a state at all; it’s the federal district, Washington DC. Thanks largely to the presence of the federal government and many international organizations, DC’s ratio of graduate jobs advertised online per university-educated worker is three times the national average, far higher than any individual state.

Which sectors are advertising most graduate jobs online?

The report also analyses the employment sectors and roles offering most favorable prospects for university graduates, again based on the number of jobs advertised online per graduate worker. The STEM sector is found to offer the best prospects for university graduates, offering the highest number of online job adverts per 100 graduate workers. Also above the national average are managerial and professional office jobs, as well as professional and technical healthcare roles. Meanwhile, the most competitive sectors are healthcare support, education, and roles in food and personal services.

Within each employment sector, CEW identifies the states currently offering the most favorable graduate job prospects. For those seeking managerial and professional occupations, the highest concentrations of online job adverts are for roles based in Massachusetts, Delaware, Washington, California, New Jersey and New York. Those looking for STEM roles are advised to head for Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio or Oregon, for the best chances of finding a graduate job online.

Best US states for finding graduate jobs online

Based on the States Online College Job Market report

Top US states for finding graduate jobs online
Managerial and professional office

Montana, Massachusetts, Idaho, Washington, Delaware
Healthcare professional and technical
Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, Washington, Colorado
Education
South Dakota, Vermont, Maine, Alaska, Massachusetts
Community services and the arts

Overall, roles in consulting and business services account for for the highest number of online adverts for jobs in the US, making up 23% of all online job adverts. Particularly high-demand professional roles include accountancy and auditing, and medical/health services management. In the STEM sector, notably high numbers of online job adverts are reported for applications software developers and computer systems analysts.

How Much Does it Cost to Study in the UK as well as in Europe

Cost to Study in the UK , Europe
How Much Does it Cost to Study in the UK as well as in Europe
UK tuition fees are frequently under the media spotlight, following price hikes for home students (UK/EU) in recent years and an increase in premium charges for international students. But the overall cost to study in the UK is dependent on many factors, including institution, course, location and funding opportunities, and could in fact be a lot less than the headlines suggest.

According to recent figures, the average cost per year to study in the UK at undergraduate level as an international student is UK£11,987 (~US$17,860), while for international postgraduate students this average fee rises to £12,390. At all levels, laboratory and clinical degree programs are markedly more expensive, with a clinical degree costing overseas students an average of £24,206 ($36,070) at undergraduate level, with top universities in London charging as much as £34,800 ($51,850).


Combine these fees with the average cost of living in the UK, around £12,000 ($17,850), and the total average costs to study in the UK come up to £24,000 ($35,710) per year. Studying in the capital city, meanwhile, is likely to be significantly more expensive.


While these costs may be daunting, remember that most UK universities offer shorter programs compared to countries such as the US (three years for the average undergraduate degree instead of four, and one year for a master’s degree instead of two), so you may be able to subtract a year's worth of fees and living costs from your total budget!
Students’ cost of living in the UK


According to recent figures from the UK’s National Union of Students (NUS), the average annual cost of living in England (outside of London) for students is UK£12,056 (US$19,490). This includes £4,989 ($7,460) for rent, £1,954 ($2,920) for food, £363 ($540) for household goods, £42 ($62) for insurance, £1,917 ($2,860) for personal items, £1,705 ($2,550) for travel and £1,190 ($1,780) for leisure.


If you wish to study in London, you should expect to pay £13,521 ($20,200) for the same breakdown of goods and services. The biggest difference in the cost of living in London compared to the rest of England is in rent, which is estimated at an average of £6,340 ($9,480) per year.


As the NUS points out, the figures for the rest of England can only be used as a rough guide to the overall cost of living in the UK. But they are roughly consistent with the amounts specified by the UK Border Agency (UKBA), which asks international students to provide evidence that they can afford to live and study in the UK for a specified period before being granted a Tier 4 (General) student visa.


For visa purposes, international students undertaking study in London proper will have to budget £1,020 ($1,520) for each month of stay in the country, while those who study in outer London or the rest of the UK will have to show £820 ($1,225) per month in order to prove they can cover the cost of living in the UK.
UK tuition fees and course costs – UK/EU students


There are two levels of tuition fees at publicly funded UK universities: home student fees (including EU students) and international student fees. For home students, institutions in England and Wales can charge up to a maximum of UK£9,000 (US$13,430) per year for undergraduate degree programs; in Northern Ireland up to £3,575 ($5,330) per year; and in Scotland an undergraduate degree is effectively free for students from Scotland and the EU. This is thanks to a subsidy from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). The SAAS also offers a tuition fee loan of up to £3,400 ($5,080) for home postgraduate students.


It should be noted that the Scottish definition of “home” student differs slightly, in that it doesn’t include students from the rest of the UK – i.e. England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Students from the rest of the UK who want to undertake an undergraduate degree in Scotland will need to pay between £6,630 ($9,890) and £9,000 ($13,440).


There’s also good news for students from Wales, who only need to pay £3,810 ($5,680) per year in UK tuition fees to study anywhere in the UK, with the rest covered by the Welsh government.

The amounts given above indicate the maximum amount public universities are allowed to charge. More than half of universities in England and Wales do charge the maximum of £9,000 ($13,440) per year – but at a diminishing number of universities, the annual tuition fees are just £6,000 ($8,950) for undergraduate home students.


Postgraduate tuition fees vary significantly, depending on the university and the subject. Home students may be able to receive some funding from one of the UK’s research councils, the university itself, or via a career sponsorship scheme.
UK tuition fees and course costs – international students



For international students, undergraduate fees for 2014-15 start at around UK£8,000 (US$11,920) for lecture-based courses, going up to £36,600 ($58,201) for an undergraduate medical degree at the top of the price range. On average, however, international undergraduate fees level out at around £11,987 ($17,870) – approximately £4,000 more than home students.


At postgraduate level, the average international fee for classroom based programs in 2014-15 is £12,390 ($18,470), although the majority of courses range from between £10,000 and £13,000 ($14,900-$19,380). For laboratory-based programs, average annual fees stand at £14,274 ($21,285), while for clinical degree programs the average figure is £21,296 ($31,750). For leading clinical programs (such as medicine) at leading UK universities, however, fees can be as high as £38,532 ($57,440) annually. 
UK scholarships and student funding


Home (UK/EU) students are eligible for loans, grants and other forms of funding to cover their UK tuition fees, with differing amounts of funding depending on location. While student loans for home students tend to cover all tuition fees, the additional loan to cover the cost of living in the UK often falls short of the needed amount, with a maximum living loan of UK£5,740 ($8,560) for students outside of London and up to £7,751 (UK£11,550) for those who study in London.


Undergraduate home students at private UK universities (there are only three in the country) can still apply for tuition fee loans for most courses, as well as maintenance loans and maintenance grants. However, the tuition fee loan might not cover the full amount.


A large range of scholarships to study in the UK are also offered by the government, individual universities, independent organizations and various charities. The Education UK website provides a searchable database of 3,000 scholarships for international and home students. It is also worth checking to see what scholarships and support schemes are available from the government and other organizations in your own country.


Prominent UK scholarships for international students include:
Chevening Scholarships – government funded UK scholarships open to outstanding students with leadership potential from around the world to study at postgraduate level at accredited UK universities.
Marshall Scholarships – UK scholarships for high-achieving US students to gain funding to study in the UK.
Commonwealth Scholarships and fellowships – UK scholarships offered by member governments to citizens of other Commonwealth countries.


UK scholarships are more widely available at postgraduate level, with relatively few offered for undergraduate students. However, always check with your chosen university, as support is often available for exceptional undergraduate students.

Value for money?



The UK is the world’s second most popular destination for international students (after the US), with the strong reputation of UK universities continuing to give a competitive advantage to those who gain a UK degree. According to the Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey (from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills), international students in the UK are more likely to earn higher salaries after graduation than if they’d studied at home. So the overall cost to study in the UK may well be counterbalanced by future returns.
