It's suggested other degrees, like photography and film studies, offer little return on investment, and figures show about 40 per cent of university degrees do not lead to an average salary above £30,000 within five years. University Open days are on now, and potential undergraduates are thinking about their futures, and the costs of a degree - is it worth the estimated £50,000 total cost?
