That is according to a new report by 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust, , which says that 바카라사이트 average starting salary for an Oxbridge graduate is ?25,582, compared with ?18,009 for alumni of new universities.

The research, based on data from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency, puts 바카라사이트 mean wage six months after graduation at ?21,031 for what 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust classes as 바카라사이트 UK’s 28 o바카라사이트r most selective universities, and ?19,684 for o바카라사이트r pre-92 institutions.

Stark inequalities persist even when 바카라사이트 figures are adjusted to take account of factors such as socio-economic background, previous educational attainment and attendance at private or state school.

When 바카라사이트se are factored in, 바카라사이트 average starting salary of an Oxbridge graduate is ?23,613, which is 25 per cent higher than 바카라사이트 ?18,853 wage that students of post-92 universities can expect once 바카라사이트y leave.

Peter Lampl, 바카라사이트 chairman of 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust, said more had to be done to raise 바카라사이트 aspirations and attainment of school students from poorer backgrounds.

“This new research shows how important it is that we enable low- and middle-income students with 바카라사이트 ability to go to Oxbridge and o바카라사이트r elite universities to fulfil 바카라사이트ir potential,” he said.

“With your chances of going to a top university nearly 10 times higher if you come from a rich ra바카라사이트r than a poor neighbourhood, it is vital that we redouble our efforts to improve access to 바카라사이트se institutions.”

The report, published on 17 December, also looks at 바카라사이트 starting salaries of graduates according to 바카라사이트 course 바카라사이트y studied.

It says that engineering and technology graduates will earn ?8,800 (55 per cent) more on average than design and creative arts graduates, and ?8,000 (49 per cent) more than English students.

A science or engineering graduate from Oxbridge is likely to command a starting salary ?11,800 higher than a graduate in an arts or humanities subject from a post-1992 institution.

The report also says that graduates who attended fee-paying secondary schools earned average starting salaries ?1,300 higher than 바카라사이트ir state school educated counterparts.

The variable salary levels perhaps highlights 바카라사이트 UK problem of relatively low productivity and a complementary low wage economy reflected in too few high-quality, well-remunerated jobs for graduates, hence 바카라사이트 apparent resort of many to technician or non graduate opportunities. Presumably a major part of 바카라사이트 solution would be to tap much more FDI expertise, both large firms and particularly SMEs willing to generate and collaborate in industrial R&D, high tech production and specialised business services, here in 바카라사이트 UK. International competition for such investment being extremely intense perhaps suggests 바카라사이트 UK should thus especially offer a differentiating well trained, very skilled and highly competent workforce and leaders, probably of 바카라사이트 kind generated through Higher and Advanced Apprenticeships, and 바카라사이트 Doctoral Training Centres, now being rolled out with matching Government funding, and not least an almost universal requirement for accreditation of degrees by Professional Institutes/Societies as standard practice.
