'Gang of four' run away with research lead

Article Abstract:

A group of four super-elite universities is exerting an increasingly tight stranglehold on research in the UK, according to research conducted by Evidence (Leeds, UK) for the Times Higher Educational Supplement. The research reveals that leading the group is Imperial College London with research income of UKPd153 mil, followed by Oxford University with UKPd150 mil, Cambridge University with UKPd149 mil and University College London with UKPd148 mil. After these four there is a sharp drop-off, with the fifth placed university, King's College London, registering research income of UKPd91.4 mil.

Value of degree is on the way up

Article Abstract:

The financial benefits of getting an university degree have grown with the expansion of higher education, according to an ongoing study being conducted by Peter Elias of the Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick and Kate Purcell of the Employment Studies Research Unit at the University of the West of England. The research reveals that earnings are increasing more quickly for recent graduates - in particular women - than for people who graduated in 1980, despite the proportion of people who have entered higher education having more than doubled.
