Universities offer opportunities, increase social mobility and benefit economies across the length and breadth of the country. But what is the individual value of going to university for graduates and business leaders?
In collaboration with Censuswide, we surveyed 3,505 UK graduates and 3,506 UK business leaders to find out about the value of going to university. This data covered a range of topics including; employment, salary, industry knowledge and skills, transferrable skills and the social mobility that going to university brings.
The benefits captured by this research are numerous – from job security and career ambitions, to earnings and social mobility – and highlight how highly UK universities are regarded not just by those who attend them, but also by those who hire their graduates and benefit from their skills. ~ Vivienne Stern, Chief Executive of Universities UK
