Why choose a course starting in January?

There are plenty of reasons to start your DMU journey in January, and here are just a few examples why joining us in 2022 might be the right choice for you.

Further your education

Whether you want to direct yourself towards a new career goal, become an expert in your area, or make yourself stand out to future employers, starting a postgraduate course in January is a great opportunity to do so. You can enhance your learning, gain new skills and strengthen your position to join the jobs market after completing your studies.

Change of plans

Due to changes of circumstances caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, the uncertainty of the situation might have deterred you from applying for a place in September. Choosing to start a course in January can help you plan with greater confidence.

Take a break

After a sustained period of time in education, taking a break from study can leave you feeling refreshed and ready to fully engage with postgraduate learning. For some, taking a full year out can seem daunting and there is a fear of getting left behind from your peers. Choosing a January start still allows time for travel plans, internship or placement opportunities and recuperation, without requiring the commitment of a full year out.

employability

Alternative job market entry

In an increasingly competitive graduate jobs market, finishing your studies at a different time of year to the peak graduate entry can decrease the volume of competition. Our award-winning careers support means that by studying with us you will benefit from our careers commitment, giving you access to work experience opportunities, help with CVs and the job interview process as well as life long support as a DMU alumni.

More time to decide

The pressure of applying for postgraduate study while still completing the final year of an undergraduate degree can be hard to balance. Applying for a course with a later start date gives you time to reflect and choose a programme that genuinely matches your career aspirations and passions.
