Higher education offers outstanding professional development opportunities. Every year many talented graduates enter challenging, rewarding work from which they enjoy rapid promotion. Unfortunately many others find themselves in boring low-paid low-skilled jobs, from which they struggle to progress.

Details of graduates' employment are not easy for prospective HE students to find, so many accept the sales pitch of the university prospectus, choose an inappropriate course, put their feet up and wait for their graduate dream job to arrive. This website is designed to help students base their plans on hard facts rather than glossy prospectuses.

Even if it seems impossible to choose “exactly the right course”, you can easily avoid some common pitfalls.
