A degree in Bachelor of Engineering (Digital Communication and Electronics) is a

n excellent qualification to leverage off and add to with a post graduate diplom
a or a Masters. Doing this can definitely increase your knowledge and expertise
in electronic and telecommunication and make you attractive to future potential
employers.
Typically speaking, the higher the level of qualification, the more well qualifi
ed you will become, which puts you at an advantage with future potential employe
rs, so generally, participating in a Masters degree would be the preferred optio
n. However, a post graduate diploma is also an excellent extension of your curre
nt knowledge and education if you initially do not have the time to embark upon
a full Masters degree. Many students will pursue a post graduate diploma prior t
o doing their Masters, so it can be used as a building block towards the Masters
degree. The key advantages of doing a diploma is that these courses are typical
ly a shorter duration than a full time degree and they also cost less than a Mas
ters degree, but it still adds the same specialisation against your name.
Remember though, academic qualifications, whilst important, only form part of th
e requirements to secure a role with a potential employer, so ensure you are als
o gaining relevant work experience or seeking internships to differentiate yours
elf from other applicants and show your commitment to the industry to prospectiv
e employers.
To secure an internship, attend university job and career fairs as often as poss
ible to understand which companies offer internships programs, do extensive onli
ne research and approach companies directly to offer your assistance. Networking
through social media, industry events and your own contacts (family, friends, c
olleagues and academics) to meet with industry professionals is also often a gre
at way to get your foot in the door.
For work experience, start your job hunting process by using job boards, agency
websites, the classified section of newspapers, and also consider social media a
nd networking events. Then you can apply for roles related to electronic and tel
ecommunication, to gain a position in this field, while you are studying and lea
rning the theory behind the profession.
