Interesting points from the depths of the LEO spreadsheet:
Clearly students are in this essential area for reasons other than high salaries – many thanks, I need to eat! UCB is well positioned in the table, but not for agriculture – culinary and baking! There doesn’t seem to be a strong link between prior attainment at A Level and earnings! Bristol University is here due to its Veterinary Nursing course, from what I can see.
It’s not just about money!
There are many reasons to go to university; love of a subject, independent and critical thinking, independent living (if affordable!). It’s not just about salary levels, however applicants must not be misled by general statements about a blanket graduate dividend, these are clearly bogus. See information below.
For courses with a clear vocational link, check to see if there is a relevant apprenticeship standard:
