Take Open Courses From Top Universities. The 9 British universities that produce the most CEOs | Education News. C0mun1c4t10ns, Wikipedia It takes grit and determination to run a business, not a degree from Oxford University or the London School of Economics. Emolument.com, the crowdsourced pay-data website, analysed data from 26,000 former students to find the universities with the highest ratio of graduates to chief executives, chief technology officers, or partners. The company found that the bigger and older UK universities don't produce as many business leaders as most people would think. Emolument found that "alumni from Sheffield, Brunel or Leicester University are less likely to be wooed by big banks or consultancies than their Oxbridge counterparts," the company said. "And therefore more eager launch their own business or joining budding start-ups, thereby climbing through the ranks more quickly and reaching leadership positions in smaller, more nimble structures," Emolument said.

Here's the list of the unis with the highest percentages of business leaders in their alumni ranks. Susi : SUSI. 'University-based teacher training is a damn sight better than it is being credited for' When I was a trainee teacher, I couldn’t wait to leave. I counted down the terms, months, assignments, hoops until I could finally take the stabilisers off and be in my own classroom. I doubt that you will find many trainees who feel differently. Is this because their Initial Teacher Education (ITE) is so excruciatingly poor?

If you believe recent criticisms, then that must be the case. But in reality? As a senior lecturer in ITE, I often recall to my students my third-year fantasies of building post-graduation bonfires of my endless files, assignments, readings. Foundation training Those files took pride of place in my inaugural teacher cupboard. My first school was judged requires improvement. I am not ashamed to say that I went home and bawled my eyes out. But then I returned to my training. And so I get angry when I see how ITE is receiving a real battering at the moment, whether that be from the government or the press – even from colleagues on social media. Inaccurate perceptions.

January Courses | NCI. QS Best Student Cities 2016. How to write a personal statement for a UK university. Kathryn Abell of Edukonexion shares some tips ahead of her talk at the British Education Fair in Madrid taking place on 19-20 October 2015. When applying to a UK university, the discovery that school grades alone are not enough to gain entry onto the programme of your choice can come as an unwelcome surprise. This is especially true for international students, many of whom see the words 'personal statement' for the first time when starting their university application. But far from being a barrier, the personal statement is, in fact, one of the stepping stones to achieving your goal of studying at a UK university. A personal statement can help you stand out If you have selected your study programme well – that is to say, you have chosen something that you are truly excited about that matches your academic profile – then the personal statement is simply a way to communicate to admissions tutors why you are interested in the programme and what you can bring to it.

Quiz staff about your course The course should be top of your list of things to explore on university open days and a little preparation can make a big difference. But according to Kevin Betts, acting head of undergraduate recruitment at the University of Sussex, most applicants ask questions about things that are already covered in the provided information available. So don’t waste time – get in there with a killer question. It’s your chance to interrogate staff and students, and find out exactly what you will be doing for the next three or four years. Check which modules are compulsory and the options offered for each year of the course because they can change after prospectuses are published. Betts says he has noticed a general lack of preparation by students, which means they do not get the best out of the day.

“So try something more searching, such as: ‘All universities offer psychology – so why should I choose Sussex?’ And don’t be afraid to ask to see more.
