Chris Havergal writes for Times Higher Education on the Earning by Degrees report.
Graduates of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge start on salaries that are £7,600, or 42 per cent, higher than those from post-92 institutions.
That is according to a new report by the Sutton Trust, Earning by Degrees, which says that the average starting salary for an Oxbridge graduate is £25,582, compared with £18,009 for alumni of new universities.
The research, based on data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency, puts the mean wage six months after graduation at £21,031 for what the Sutton Trust classes as the UK’s 28 other most selective universities, and £19,684 for other pre-92 institutions.
