University leaders say that the value says Higher Education should be measured in More Than just profitability

Higher numbers, still makes it financially advantageous to go to University is for most students in England, the research of The Institute for Fiscal Studies.

But 20% are worse off, after paying for courses, says the study commissioned by The Department for education.

About her work, life, male graduates on average income of £130,000 and female graduates of 100,000 pounds.

the universities Minister, Michelle Donelan , says needed students and taxpayers to benefit from their "Investment ".

The government has promised to tackle the "low-quality" courses.

to say But high school principals, there are also other forms of social and personal value of Higher Education , as well as measurements of a diploma can result.

The study on the projected income, based on tax data, shows large differences at the financial winners and losers, between different topics, once the cost to go to University, was deducted.

more and More women go to College than Men and a higher proportion of women-85% compared with 75% of the Men , you Will receive a positive financial return.

But female graduates have lower lifetime income, which the analysis says is likely to reflect, the women, the break or reduction of hours, if you have children.

The gender gap in earnings opens when graduates are in their 30s - although the data do not distinguish between part-time and full-time work, so that part might take time, with lower pay.

The study raises questions about what topics should be promoted

But for the 70,000 students each year, the cost to go to University - such as fees, loans and lost income while you are studying - Will be greater than any additional money, you make a profit, so they make less than their colleagues who went to work directly after high school.

Ben Walt man, of The Institute for Fiscal Studies, said that public finances won to pay, on average, of Higher Education , "because high-income graduates Go On a lot of taxes".

This still meant that the state finances had been subsidizing almost half of the individual graduates, with the largest losses concentrated in subjects such as art.

There were suggestions that the funds could be restricted for high-school graduates with poor value for students.

This recommended tuition fees should be cut to £7,500 and that the students needed better value for money.

The Higher Education watchdog, The Office for students, is also conducting a review of how the funding grants that should be given priority between the different subjects.

But the UCU lecturers' union has warned against the simplistic connections between the quality of the course and the future salaries.

"the earnings situation is also strongly influenced by factors such as the individual's background, their parents are in employment, gender, where you are and where you live, according to the study," says Union Leader Jo Grady.

And, She Said , decisions about the value of the courses, the need to reflect "the wider benefits that education brings to individuals and to society".

Nicola Dandridge , chief executive Office for students, said it was important that the University would be the applicant "clear and factual information" and "data on the income potential is an important part of the picture".

Others argued that the apprenticeships were better value.

"This analysis of new evidence, such as the current University model is broken," said Euan Blair , co-founder of the teaching-provider WhiteHat.

"Young People are put under pressure to go to University and without regard to whether The Experience Will be positive, or if you Will be equipped to pursue the career they want," he said.

But even if the income may be relatively low, graduates may work in sectors "a significant contribution to the economy and society," said Alistair Jarvis, chief executive of universities in the UK.

He said it was important to recognize that the "benefits of a certain distance far in excess of content results."

the universities Minister, Michelle Donelan also pointed to the "non-quantifiable experiences and friendships" of the University.
