Degree courses with some of the UK’s worst employment records will be trying to scoop up students in Clearing on A-level Results Day this Thursday.New analysis by the Daily Mail has identified the top 20 course groupings, by university, for graduates being out of work five years after leaving.The worst one had almost a quarter of graduates out of work, while the median salary for those that did work was just £24,900. The top 20 all had at least one in six graduates out of work, while five have median salaries of less than £25,000.This is despite many graduates having racked up more than £50,000 in debt during degrees, including three years of tuition fees charged at more than £9,000 annually.Now you can have your say in the Daily Mail’s latest poll – is university still worth the money?
In the last poll, Mail readers were asked: 'Are new rules on single-sex spaces 'harmful to the rights of trans people'?' Out of more than 3,000 votes, 96 per cent of you said 'no' and 4 per cent said 'yes'.
