In today’s landscape, graduate education is far from being a luxury. Amid growing demands for specialized skills, a graduate degree from a globally competitive university is an essential credential for career advancement, leadership development, and global competitiveness.
According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 report, workers can expect that two-fifths (39%) of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over the 2025-2030 period.
