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 the 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 tokeep 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.
