Interesting points from the depths of the LEO spreadsheet:
Great to see universities such as Cumbria, Bolton, Greenwich, Middlesex, Bedfordshire, Wolverhampton, LSBU and UWL at the top end of a ranking and often with students from low or middle prior attainment bands.
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:
