From City AM:
Cambridge may have won this year’s men’s boat race.
But Oxford's alumni can boast a superior average salary, according to
new research looking at graduates with two to six years of experience
in work.
Salary benchmarking site Emolument.com found the average Oxford
graduate earns £70,000 (including a £5,000 bonus), ahead of £68,000 from
Cambridge (again with a £5,000 bonus).
Unfortunately for both Oxbridge universities, though, the
study compared them with the US’s Ivy League, leaving them far behind
the likes of Harvard (£105,000, including an £8,000 bonus) and Brown
(£96,000, including a £10,000 bonus).
In Oxford and Cambridge’s favour, of course, is the fact
that fees amount to less. Harvard’s tuition fees, for instance, come to
£34,000, Emolument.com found.
The research also found an advantage to degrees in science,
with Ivy Leaguers earning five per cent more on average and Oxbridgers
one per cent....
