- BestCourse4Me abstract "BestCourse4Me is a not-for-profit website which aims to allow UK students to make more informed choices about university courses.Using information collected nationally, it shows the link between what people study at University and the jobs they go into afterwards. It claims to be totally independent, impartial, and free to use.Users of the website can compare: Selected careers, in terms of what qualifications are held by people in that career, what subjects the graduates who went into that career studied at degree level, and average hourly pay of graduates vs non-graduates in that career. Degree subjects, in terms of what graduates were doing six months after graduating from a course in that subject, and what they were earning. Universities, in terms of what graduates from each university are doing six months after graduating and what they were earning, what proportion of students at that university are from state schools, what the drop-out rate is before completing a degree, and what degree class is achieved by graduates.The site is somewhat controversial in that it allows direct comparisons of supposedly equivalent courses at different institutions, and may also encourage over-simplistic comparisons of courses. Others argue that having some data is a great improvement on having none. A stated aim of the site is to assist those from disadvantaged backgrounds, who may not have sufficient information about universities and careers from other sources.The site has won high-level support from some UK politicians, most notably David Cameron (the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) and David Willetts (the Minister of State for Universities and Science), and from celebrities such as Andy McNab, who does the voiceover for some of the site's video tutorials.The site is provided by Student Information Services Ltd (SIS). SIS Ltd was established by the philanthropists Steve and Ros Edwards as a not for profit organisation aiming to provide clear information to prospective students about the outcomes and value of a higher education so they can make better informed choices.".
