Dr Jack Britton from the Institute for Fiscal Studies says that Russell Group universities earn an average of ￡33,500 after five years - about 40% more than those who studied at other universities.
However, it found it\'s not just the location but other factors than can play a part in what you can earn, such as the subject a student chooses to study. It discovered that five years after graduation, the income gap between students who studied the subjects that attract the highest and lowest salaries can be considerable. Graduates in subjects such
