EXPLAINER NOTES BY ANDY GARDNER
Subjects covered include:
Teacher Training, Childhood St (also in Social Sciences), Education Studies
General Median salaries to compare with below:
For all 24-29-year-olds in work in 2014-15: £20,800 WonkHE. For all ages, £27,600 in 2015 ASHE
Interesting points from the depths of the LEO spreadsheet:
The highest – Brunel, has a very small cohort, but well done anyway! Clearly, as many of the students have done professional Teacher Training courses, there is a not a great spread in the earnings. Middlesex did well with lots of students in the lowest prior attainment band and a very large cohort.
It’s not just about the 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 can be clearly bogus. See information below.
For courses with a clear vocational link, check to see if there is a relevant apprenticeship standard:
