Isn't the problem right there in the first sentence? - "Almost every university in England offers courses in computer science".
Obviously not all institutions offering a CS degree are equal & a quick look at a league table [1] shows that the 'Graduate Prospects' range from 100 (St Andrews) to 38 (Bolton).
Elsewhere in the thread someone mentions software apprenticeships and I think anyone thinking of enrolling on the CS course at Bolton might be better off doing an apprenticeship instead.

- Symbiote 11y agoThat's exactly right, and the article goes on to explain that. The scatter plot compares "UCAS Tariff" (A-level results etc) to unemployment. I used to work with / mentor students who were somewhere in the middle to poor end of the scale. An apprenticeship is probably better, now that tuition fees are so high.
