What advice would you give somebody who is thinking of studying an entirely new subject for postgraduate study?
Go for it! It is good to have wider career paths open. Often you do not get it right at the beginning. At first, I studied engineering, then switched to business, then politics. I cannot imagine myself being an engineer.
How is your current course helping to prepare you for employment?
It offers wider employment possibilities, outside of private sector.
