Six in 10 graduates must get professional jobs, universities told

I really regret going to the UK as an International student.

"not benchmarked to take account of variations in students’ social backgrounds or in regional labour markets" "could allow institutions to meet the condition, even if below a baseline, where “the provider’s context justifies the outcome data”, taking account of factors such as variation in outcomes “for different types of students and courses”" Make your mind up!

Not all undergraduate students are aged 18 and doing a degree to get a job! Where would this leave those courses that cater for mature learners wanting to study part time for pure enjoyment of the subject and personal fulfilment?

This is ridiculous and needs to be rejected out of hand. Universities are not trade schools existing solely to prepare trainees for specific jobs. I suppose the "office of students" needs to do something to justify its existence, but these antics serve only to show how pointless it is and why it ought to be disbanded forthwith.

Cut the lower rungs off the ladder and call it levelling up, and all justified by some arbitrary conjuring of matrices arrived at in 149 pages of drivel. What a sad day for education

Many students could get a more highly paid 'professional level' job and don't want to - there is much rejection of audit and teaching, for example. It is not the role of universities to force people into particular jobs. The OFS needs to drop this drivel, take action on executive pay at universities, along with waste in the sector, so more money can be spent on students and staff learning and development, to ensure the students receive good quality teaching and support.
