⁤The Good Universities Guide compares the median earnings of graduates from different universities one year after graduation in order to analyse the context of graduate salary.

⁤Among other things, this ranking indicates to a lot of students how successful a university’s alumni are and the quality of education they receive.But using graduate salaries alone as a gauge can be deceptive. ⁤

For example, evaluating a university only on the basis of a “low” graduate pay could mislead a student into believing that the school does not generate graduates who are competitive.This perspective overlooks other important variables, like the impact of the sector and regional variations among graduates.

As a result, in order to provide a thorough evaluation that aids in the informed decision-making of students and their influences over their education, The Good Universities Guide assesses 13 more categories.
