12:22Now PlayingEvery year around, around 23,000 number of people apply to study at the Univerity of Oxford. And it’s no wonder.
For centuries, Oxford has been the finishing school for the upper echelon of British society. Of the 57 prime ministers we’ve had in the UK, 30 went to Oxford. Just going here increases your average earnings by about ten grand a year, compared to grads from non-Russell Group graduates.
It also consistently tops the UK university league tables, making it probably the best university in the country.
There are about 1.6m full-time students in the UK right now and the vast majority don’t attend a uni as good as Oxford and they’ll graduate into a saturated job market, saddled with student debts, maybe wondering if it was all worth it.
Students here are very likely in the same boat.
They can't all be prime minister, unless they did it in shifts.
Ed Campbell went to Oxford to find out if uni is still worth it.
