Defining your project for success
Whatever your plans, going back to university requires a great deal of thought and personal investment. Whether you want to develop within your company, retrain for a new profession, or acquire skills in line with the job market, your motivation and determination are essential. It's possible to go back to school at any age if you give yourself the time and resources to succeed.
Professional fulfillment is essential, and going back to academics can help you achieve it. To enhance your employability and boost your self-confidence, going back to university is a feasible solution, provided you define your objectives and evaluate your project.
Who should study at USMB?
Resumption of studies may involve an adult enrolled in an initial academics course (state diplomas), or in a course specifically designed for working people (state or institutional diplomas).
Integrated adults attend academics at the same pace as students, with no special arrangements.
The courses organized in specific groups are aimed at all professionals wishing to complete their initial academics or specialize, while obtaining a university diploma or certification. The organization is adapted to the pace and constraints of a working adult audience.
