Five years after graduation, the average University of Portsmouth graduate earns £3,100 above expectations, according to The Economist
The University of Portsmouth does more to boosts its graduates’ earnings that any other university – according to The Economist’s own ranking of UK universities.
5 years after graduation, the average University of Portsmouth graduate earns £3,100 (or 13 per cent) above expectations. In comparison, the average University of Oxford graduate earns £1,900 (or 5 per cent) above expectations.
To calculate a university’s impact on their graduates’ salaries, The Economist compared each university’s graduates’ earnings with the average predicted salary of a student, based on a number of factors including previous exam results and social background.
University of Portsmouth Vice-Chancellor Professor Graham Galbraith said: “This report shows that we are adding more value than any other university, giving our students, particularly those from less advantaged backgrounds, the skills they need.
“We offer an outstanding and distinctive student experience, with a focus on career enhancing activities and embedding innovative technology in courses designed to prepare students for successful careers.
“Across the University, students learn in state-of-the-art facilities as used in industry and the professions with our programmes of study shaped by input from employers and our students.
At the University of Portsmouth we get to know our students, we work out what support they need and then we provide it. For some it will be one-to-one tuition, for others it will be more assistance with mathematics and for others it will be more general support around their wellbeing.
