Future-proof your career
Your graduate degree at Hult is just the first stage of
a lifelong educational partnership that will keep your
career on the cutting edge. Here, Hult’s Chief Academic
Officer explains why lifelong learning is essential
in today’s rapidly changing world.
By Johan Roos, Chief Academic Officer
It used to be that a university degree certified that
you had enough knowledge to last a lifetime.
Now the new normal requires continuous lifelong
learning—including knowledge of things you may
never have studied. Fortunately, this knowledge
is obtainable; but how it’s delivered is changing the
education landscape.
Traditional education is falling short
Employers constantly complain that the traditional
university education no longer meets their needs.
Knowledge can no longer be the main emphasis of
an education when much of what is taught quickly
becomes redundant. Instead graduates need the
ability to quickly think, learn, and adapt.
Technology is changing faster than we can teach
Technology is making the world increasingly efficient,
complex, and prone to sudden change. Whatever was
learned at university lags behind technology’s
exponential developments. Who can keep abreast
with advances in data analytics, blockchain, and
nanotechnology, not to mention fintech, auto-tech,
med-tech, and the-rest-tech? Graduates have
to keep identifying and filling their “skills gaps”
to remain relevant.
Hult is relentlessly focused on keeping
your skills relevant
Hult ensures the relevancy of its education by updating
its curricula annually. We want to make certain that
we are covering the skills and knowledge demanded
by employers today. This relentless focus on the skills
needed by employers puts Hult on the cutting edge
of education.
However, even this is not enough. No school can
predict what the future will hold. That is why we
offer all our graduates the ability to take one free
elective per year for life: so all alumni can take
advantage of these curricula updates and continue
their lifelong learning journey.
Tools to support you throughout your career
We are dedicated to supporting our graduates
throughout their business career. Not only are we
committed to producing the tools they need to
identify the skills required to progress and stay relevant,
but also to using the latest technology to enable them
to study whenever and wherever they would like.
We have some exciting new innovations in this regard
that we look forward to sharing soon.
