Cambridge University has the most employable graduates, according to a new international rankings.
In the seventh annual Global University rankings, the UK university scored a top 10 rating, after Uk ratings of Universities dipped, with only 4 UK Universities ranked in the top 30.
.
The fall in perceived standards of employability comes in the wake of a rise in Asian universities, as well as other factors such as English usage becoming more widespread, it was suggested.
The rankings are based on data gathered by HR consultancy Emerging from around 6,000 recruitment managers at large international firms. Recruiting manager are annually asked what they look for in graduates, given their professional expertise and wide knowledge. They are then asked to vote for the institutions they believe produce the most employable graduates. These managers use their experience of the past year, taking into account the findings of their fellow managers with similar knowledge and expertise from other companies.
Cambridge came fifth place in the latest table of fundings published by Times Higher Education, down one from last year when it came fourth. Cambridge University is home to one Britain’s brightest brains- most undergraduates at Cambridge were straight A students in their G.C.S.E’s and A levels.
AMBITIOUS
The congregation of top bright students in Cambridge creates a very ambitious atmosphere and feeling of self accomplishment, which motivates students further to attain high heights in an institution where the academic climate is intensely hardworking. On top of being bright, Cambridge students are assigned more work in the semester than students of most other Universities, the eye of media confirmed during a research conducted in 2016. Employers are particularly impressed with students who on paper are extremely bright, and who have demonstrated the ability to consistently deliver top results in exams. Students who have scored A’s throughout their secondary school years, and who also achieved a first class degree from Cambridge University are rated the most employable graduates in the UK, and the 10th best in the world.
Similar bright students can be found in Oxford, Oxbridge ,Newcastle, Queen Mary, and Leeds Universities, to name a few. However, those from Cambridge are more often extremely bright and very well grounded all round. They often getting into full time employment shortly after graduating.
TOPS
The California Institute of Technology topped this year’s rankings, followed by Harvard University, Columbia University and then the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – all in the United States.
other few UK institutions making it into the top 30 were Oxford in 15th place (seventh last year), Imperial College London in 17th place (16th last year), and King’s College London in 25th place (23rd last year). A consistent pattern in this year’s drop in rated standards was the slight fall in rankings by the other UK top Universities. However, experts questioned whether the image of UK universities may have been affected by Brexit.
.
Simon Baker, data editor at Times Higher Education said: “UK universities have taken a severe knock in the Global University Employability Ranking and questions will be raised about whether the Brexit process is tarnishing the image of its universities in the eyes of global recruiters.
“However, the UK’s general decline in the ranking has been happening for some time, a product of the rise of Asian universities, the use of English becoming widespread – therefore removing the UK’s natural competitive advantage – and a traditional weakness in UK institutions’ industry links.
“The odds on the UK turning this situation around in the short term appear slim and it underscores the need to avoid Brexit leaving the country isolated on the world stage.”

RISE IN ASIAN UNIVERSITIES
The rise in Asian Universities have definitely had an impact on the drop on standards , because Asian Universities are in stiff competition with one another. The standard of education in Asia is very high from primary to secondary school, making many Asian teenagers getting into University with a higher standard than their UK counterparts because of the deeply high academic standards and stiff competition in their best schools. Asian students are generally given a higher standard of education in primary schools, as they train their 8 and 9 year olds to develop mentally at a high pace, and prepare them for secondary school and University.
Cambridge University produces the most employable graduates in the UK, according to a new poll.
The prestigious institution scored a top 10 place in new international rankings, making it the highest placed UK university.
In total, four UK institutions made it into the top 30 of the seventh annual Global University Employability rankings.
Sarah Stevens, of the Russell Group, which represents 24 leading universities, said:
“We know employers value the skills that Russell Group graduates develop through an education informed by the latest cutting-edge research.
“Eighty per cent of Russell Group graduates are in professional employment six months after leaving university and they are likely to receive a higher average salary too.“Our members are investing significant resources into careers and employment support to ensure students leave higher education ready to thrive in the workforce
