Finishing a degree · going further

Honours, master’s, a switch — what’s next.

You've nearly got the degree; the question is the next credential. The postgraduate Desk is live for tracking your applications and pointing at real funding — programme matching waits for a postgraduate catalogue, and the Desk says so plainly.

  • Final-year or graduate
  • Weighing honours vs master’s
  • Considering research or a switch
Why it matters

Nearly holding a degree, the next credential decides a lot — honours, master’s, a switch, research — and it’s the choice with the least honest guidance around it.

  • The “right” next step depends on funding and research pipelines that are rarely laid out plainly.
  • A switch is possible far more often than people assume — if you can see the route.
  • Postgraduate funding runs on its own calendar, separate from undergrad.

Honest status: the postgraduate (Progressor) Desk is live for tracking and funding pointers. Programme matching isn't — our index has no postgraduate programmes yet, and the Desk tells you that instead of pretending to match.

How it works
  1. 1

    Tell it where you’re headed

    Honours, master’s, research, or a switch.

  2. 2

    Track and fund it today

    Application tracking and postgraduate funding pointers are live on your Desk now.

  3. 3

    Matching lands with the catalogue

    Our index has no postgraduate programmes yet — matching switches on when it does, and the Desk says so.

For example

Say you’re in your final year, weighing honours against going straight to work, with a switch in the back of your mind.

  1. Tell the Desk where you’re headed — honours, master’s, PhD or a switch — and track each application with an honest “heard back?” record.
  2. It points you at real postgraduate funding — actual funds with actual deadlines, thin where the data is thin, and it says so.
  3. Programme matching switches on when the postgraduate catalogue lands — the Desk shows that status plainly, not a pretend match.

You run your postgrad season from one honest page — and you’re first in as the catalogue fills.

Illustrative — a hypothetical, not a real user.

Questions
Is the postgraduate Desk built?

Yes — tracking and funding pointers are live today. Programme matching isn’t, because our index has no postgraduate programmes yet; the Desk tells you that instead of faking a match.
