Over 50 per cent of students from a list of institutions – including Bedfordshire University, London Metropolitan University and Suffolk University – are not in professional employment or education 15 months after graduating. The new data has prompted the higher education watchdog to issue a warning over low-quality courses, saying it is determined to crack down on degrees which give students a “raw deal”.
