My other half does a very traditional course at a University that does next to no research and she is so employable it's beyond a joke. The opportunities given to her on that course have put her in a situation where she has employers fighting over her and she has a complete pick of the bunch. She is actually at her 2nd choice Uni after applying for a RG uni as her first back when she did her UCAS, she is now in her 3rd year and it's one of the best thing to happen to her. Yes, getting rejected for a RG uni and going to a non-RG uni was one of the best things to happen to her. She didn't realise it at the time, many think RG uni's are the be all and end off. Getting a job is the be all and end all, and I'm aware of many situations where non-RG universities are providing a much greater chance of gaining employment.
