The same as any other uni! What matters more is how well you've done, what experience you have and what you've studied. And yes you can apply for postgrad degrees if you meet the entry requirements.

Thanks. Would a certification like CIMA part qualified boost my application even if the university i graduated from is not very high ranking like oxford.

The uni makes no difference. Whether or not the certification does depends on the field and what you want to do. You may want to check that out in further detail and find out where grads end up.

I am doubtful thats why i asked. Do you think a certification like cima part qualified can compensate for low ranking university degree if a person has both degree and the certification.

Thank you so much. The other half of my question was about applying for postgraduate studies.Do u think a first degree from a low ranking university but with good grades is going to negatively affect future applications for postgraduate studies at a high ranking institution.

This is arguable at best and rubbish at worst. There are so many factors that go into a good job application and your uni makes little to no difference unless you went somewhere terrible in which case your degree is questionable. What are you basing this on anyway? And what do you have to say about the many talented individuals who come from all over the world and unis that people in the U.K. haven't even heard of?

Now this is good advice depending on the field and job itself.

As I've said time and time again above no it makes no difference.
