For many students attending university is a means to an end: securing a fulfilling and well-paid job once they graduate.

Money is often seen as the most important factor in choosing a job for graduates, so with that in mind, Business Insider decided to take a look at the British universities that produce the best-paid graduates.

The recently released Good University Guide, published by The Times and Sunday Times, shows that graduates of Britain’s elite institutions like Oxford and Cambridge are among the best paid, but that many lesser known universities in London make the list.

This reflects the fact that graduates attending university in the capital are more likely to stay in the city, where salaries are generally higher. While pay might be higher, cost of living is much higher in London compared to most other cities in the UK.
