Degrees That Leave Graduates Struggling | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New data reveals that some degree programs leave graduates with bleak job prospects—nearly a quarter are still unemployed five years after graduation, and those who land jobs often earn under $25,000. These are the very courses universities aggressively promote during Clearing, accepting students with grades as low as DDD. With mounting student debt and rising youth unemployment, critics question whether these degrees are worth the investment—and whether universities are prioritizing profits over student futures. While some schools claim recent curriculum upgrades have improved outcomes, the evidence from tax records paints a sobering picture. The government is now exploring ways to strengthen vocational training and help students make smarter education choices.
