Russell Group universities are forever being hyped up, despite you probably not even knowing what the Russell Group is. Spoiler alert: It’s named after a hotel, not a man named Russell, and it’s actually self-selecting meaning any uni could join it. Nevertheless, Russell Group unis are known as the best in the country, they’re prestigious, and the ones your parents forced you to apply for. But does going to a Russell Group automatically guarantee you the better dosh when you leave uni?

Well, according to new data analysed by The Telegraph, the answer is no, sorry. The data found a large number of degrees, and non-Russell Group unis which only need Cs at A-Level to get in are getting the same grades, if not better than grads of Oxbridge and the Russell Group.

So these are the non-Russell Group universities where grads are earning more than Oxbridge graduates:
University of Birkbeck
Normally studying your degree at Oxbridge can double your salary, but not for a number of subjects at The University of Birkbeck in London. The most extreme of these is economics where average earnings for grads five years after graduating are £55,100, the exact same as University of Oxbridge grads. But whereas students can get into Birkbeck with three Cs at A-Level, you need A*AA to study economics at Oxford.
