Thanks Tim, although the credit for the amazing interactive should go to @aendra.com

While earlier research suggested the gender pay gap was largely driven by course choices, as men and women took different subjects, the data indicated that men were more likely to prioritise a lucrative career and earn more than women even with identical degrees (3/3) www.ft.com/content/cb0e...

Male graduates are quick to earn more than their female peers, according to Financial Times analysis of official data, with a median annual salary of £34,700 five years after leaving university, 14.1% above the £30,400 figure for women (2/3) www.ft.com/content/cb0e...

The data comes as A-level results show a shift towards STEM subjects, with a record number of maths and economics entries and a sharp decline in languages, history and english. Acceptances on engineering and tech courses have jumped 12.5% as a result

Overseas demand for undergraduate study is up 3% from last year's dip, driven by a 13% rise from China and 10% from the US. But this data does not cover the lucrative postgraduate market and the sector regulator has previously said unis are relying on "optimistic" recruitment forecasts

Trump's assault on unis has also deterred overseas students, which could benefit the UK as rival markets Canada and Australia target large immigration cuts. But whether this translates into higher enrolments will depend on the UK government's highly anticipated immigration reforms
