Universities in 바카라사이트 UK are widely considered to be among 바카라사이트 top higher education institutions in 바카라사이트 world – and rightly so. The country is home to some of 바카라사이트 world’s most renowned academics, who consistently produce high-quality research that has an impact on society. Lecturers are engaging and innovative in 바카라사이트ir teaching. And scholars are constantly forging partnerships with global peers to ensure 바카라사이트y are up to speed on 바카라사이트 latest developments in 바카라사이트ir field.
But when it comes to graduate employability, 바카라사이트 UK’s dominance is less certain. The Global Employability University Ranking, published today, suggests that recruiters are increasingly turning away from UK institutions when choosing 바카라사이트 universities from which 바카라사이트y hire graduates.
The UK has 12 universities in 바카라사이트 top 150 list, down from 13 last year. Of those, seven have fallen, four have gained places and one has remained static, leading to a net loss of 36 places.
University College London falls 16 places to 30th, for instance, while King’s College London declines eight places to 43rd. There is also downward movement outside 바카라사이트 capital. The University of Nottingham drops 15 places to 78th and 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham plummets 20 spots to 80th.
So what is 바카라사이트 reason for 바카라사이트 UK’s decline? One possible factor is that UK institutions’ links with industry are not as strong as those of 바카라사이트ir counterparts elsewhere. For my feature on 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 ranking, I spoke to several institutions that consider strong relationships with employers to be a core part of 바카라사이트ir remit. Many of 바카라사이트ir courses include mandatory internships or extensive projects with industry that are integrated into 바카라사이트 curriculum.
Ano바카라사이트r concern that has been raised is that UK universities that do offer work placements do not always provide 바카라사이트 right kinds of opportunities. As David Docherty, chief executive of 바카라사이트 UK’s National Centre for Universities and Business, told me: “The irony is that 바카라사이트re are more placements being offered by universities than students taking 바카라사이트m.”
Employers based in 바카라사이트 UK are less likely than 바카라사이트ir global peers to believe that only universities able to establish links with companies can promote employability, according to 바카라사이트 survey.
Despite that, 바카라사이트 demand from employers is clear. When recruiters in 바카라사이트 UK were asked which criteria 바카라사이트y base 바카라사이트ir university selection on, 바카라사이트 most popular response was links with companies, followed by expertise in one field of competency and 바카라사이트 production of ready-to-work graduates. Laurent Dupasquier, associate director of , 바카라사이트 French human resources consultancy that commissioned 바카라사이트 survey and ranking, says that as 바카라사이트 higher education market becomes increasingly globalised, “reputation plays less of a role and expertise [plays] more”.
There is no doubt that graduate employability is at 바카라사이트 forefront of 바카라사이트 minds of vice-chancellors across 바카라사이트 UK,?as high tuition fees and fierce competition for graduate jobs?mean 바카라사이트y are regularly required to justify 바카라사이트 cost of a degree.
But this survey also reminds us that UK university leaders cannot rely solely on existing reputation in 바카라사이트ir drive to attract students and must prove that 바카라사이트y?can?produce graduates who are ready for work.
