Professor Julia Buckingham CBE, Chair of Universities UK’s advisory group for programme reviews, runs through our new framework to assess the value of university courses.
The government’s response to the post-18 review of education and funding arrived yesterday, over four years since the review was first announced. Julie Tam, Deputy Director of Policy at UUK, looks at what it means for universities.
Our report tackles the misperceptions that there are too many graduates, not enough jobs for them, and that some degrees have little value for employers.
A recent report by the CIPD claimed that getting a degree no longer adds to a graduate’s employment prospects. But evidence suggests that getting a degree is still worth it.
