How can you make going to university worth it? We ask the experts
Where to study is just as important as what – especially when it comes to finding a job
For sixth-formers researching possible university choices, there is no end of data to draw on. While previous generations had to make do with a university prospectus and an open day, now there are hours of “fun” to be had poring over a limitless supply of statistics about graduate jobs.
If you’re trying to decide which degree, at which university, will give you the best chance of a job with the highest salary, it is worth taking a look at websites such as www.discoveruni.gov.uk. Perhaps you’re interested in studying for a degree in economics, which you might reasonably expect to lead to a well-paid job. It often does, but earnings can vary widely depending on which university you studied at.
