It would be a waste of £9000?

i mean seriously, people go to university because its an investment into their futures, so that they get quality jobs but at London Met, employment after 6 months is at 47.7%

+ what are the chances of actually earning enough to pay back student loans

That's pretty shocking considering that out of unis in general the figure of having any job (including part-time) after 6 months is c 80-90% - so that implies half LondonMet graduates don't even find part-time work. It's probably partially dragged down by the proportion of students who go from areas of high/long-term unemployment, perhaps?

I don't know where the 47.7% stat comes from.

Unistats has 63% working only and 9% working and studying.

Of the 72% working, 64% are in graduate jobs.

For comparison Leeds has 66% working only and 6% working and studying.

Of that 72%, 76% are in graduate jobs.

Which does show the imbalance in employment between London and the north.

WOAHH ..okay.. was this like last year? or? few years back?

This was about 6 or so years ago, so maybe things have improved since then, but the impression I got wasn't great.

Yes it does! It's just another ploy to kick up some publicity for the uni and attract more customers (conservative muslims in this case). And look up the definition of swag.

Swag means ****, any English person who thinks different is a neek

Warwick is in the Russell Group. But yes, it is unusual in that it's relatively new but still highly regarded.

Well, there is also York (1963), Exeter (1955) and Lancaster (1964). Bath (1966) arguably as well.

It perhaps shows the absurdity of all this but Exeter like Nottingham, Hull Southampton and Leicester are civic universities (ex-university colleges that originally taught for University of London degrees) whereas Warwick, York, Bath and Lancaster are "modern" or "plate glass" or Robbins universities. Certainly before 1992 there would have seemed to be an enormous gulf between them.

The 47.7 figure comes from the complete university guide which is held in high regard in comparison to other uni rankings

Yes, yes it is that bad.

Especially because of this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education...-students.html.

...that makes no sense no one is making anyone drink. And I don't see them banning coffee shops for Mormons.

Thank you.

This isn't raw data and so therefore represents a rating rather than a real percentage.

From the CUG:-

What is it?

A measure of the employability of a university's graduates.
Where does it come from?

HESA data for 2009–10.
How does it work?

The number of graduates who take up employment or further study divided by the total number of graduates with a known destination expressed as a percentage. Only employment in an area that normally recruits graduates was included. The results were then adjusted to take account of the subject mix at the university.

I went to London met for less than a term...decided I wasn't keen on paying 3 grand a year for what the lecturers called "political banter" when I was trying to study Law thankyouverymuchboss! Do not go! Half the people on my course are leaving to go to better universities! If you don't go,I would've saved a life

According to this ranking, proof that nulli tertius is right

I was wondering where did you get the 47.7 % from, could you please send us a link?

Don't go you will regret it.
I think it is the worst university in the UK.

Yeah.. I decided on NOT going anymore. It sounds really bad according to what I've read online and what you guys said.... Really shocked though, I thought London Met was a good uni. Or maybe it USED to be a good one.

Art and design is 81.6%, I am not a London met student, but I think we need to give a fair and neutral advised, not based in what we like or are more keen on, but in what it is in there. London met isnt the best, thats true, however, % of employability in certain courses are higher than others.
