Professionals return to school as jobs market shrinks - The National Newspaper

More students are taking higher degrees because of the shrinking jobs market, despite having to shoulder a greater financial burden.

Universities have seen a marked increase in students studying for master’s degrees and other postgraduate diplomas.

The number of master’s students at the Canadian University in Dubai this year tripled from last year, while there was a more than one-third increase in the same period at Zayed University last year compared with the previous year.
