Women out perform men at Uni

It’s been a long coming but recent research has found that women are now doing considerably better than their male counterparts at university are.

The study compiled by the Higher Education Policy Institute shows that places at the top universities are likely to go to women, who are going on to get better grades too.

This success in education is reflected in the subjects that they are taking, medicine and law are where women are outnumbering and outperforming men.

This shows that in a few years there will be a change in the work market too, with women taking on high profile positions within the professional and business world.

Whether this is a change of men not pursuing the educational path, or if it is a complete change of how the market is going is another matter.
