Graduating in Britain does not boost earnings as much as other nations despite students paying the highest amount of fees among western developed countries

*A thread*
According to data from the OECD, a members organisation of 37 developed countries, British graduates earn 33pc more than the average salary but degrees in Spain and America boosts wages by much more
Data from the OECD, World Bank and university league tables, analysed by Stint, a student employer, placed Britain eighth among 37 countries for providing graduates with value for money

British students pay the highest average tuition fees with an upper limit of £9,250 per year
In Spain tuition for a bachelor’s degree costs around €1,460 (£1,320) a year for most European students and in France and Germany it is around €200 and €112 respectively

Universities in countries such as Norway, Denmark and Sweden charge nothing for most students
This is the *value for money ranking* and the *average annual tuition fees* of the best performing countries, according to the OECD:

🇩🇪 1 – $133
🇨🇭 2 – $1,291
🇫🇮 3 – $0
🇳🇴 3 – $0
🇩🇰 5 – $0
🇸🇪 5 – $0
🇫🇷 7 – $237
🇧🇪 8 – $536
🇮🇱 8 – $3,130
🇬🇧 8 – $11,866 👈😬
Britain fell behind others for boosting graduate salaries and is the worst for cost of tuition. However, it ranked well for increasing employment prospects – as just under 90pc of recent graduates were in work.
So, a degree is still a good investment – the problem might be which subject you choose

For example, subjects like languages and the creative arts leave graduates earning less on average than someone who never went to university
