SPONSORSHIP |
Back in the day, employers were so keen to get graduates on their payroll that they were willing to fund them throughout their degree course (or in some cases, diplomas) - sometimes the students didn’t even have to go and work for the sponsor afterwards. That, unfortunately, was in the days before degrees in The Simpsons and beach volleyball, when every other person wasn't a graduate.
Nowadays, like the crocodile and the coelacanth who've survived everything evolution can chuck at them, there are still a few sponsorship deals left. But they’re the relics.
Depending on the deal, taking a sponsorship might be like selling your soul and, even though you may need the cash, you should always check what the Purveyor of all things evil, Satan’s going rate is these days.
In any case, virtually the only courses that attract sponsorship are the ones where employers have trouble recruiting talent. They tend to be hardcore sciences, technical subjects (such as engineering), business studies, and IT or vocational courses.
Don’t even bother looking for sponsorship to do philosophy, English literature or sociology. There are some sources out there, but you might as well spend the amount of time it would take to find one earning money the traditional way.
