June is the month par excellence for exams and the end of a stage for many students: the one that ends the high school years to make the leap to university.
Many of the young people who face the selectivity that is traditionally held in the first call in the first weeks of June do so without being very clear about what career they want to start and where to direct your working life.
A factor that can help a doubting student to opt for one or the other can be the amount of money they can earn in the future depending on whether they have chosen one or the other.
The U-Ranking prepared by the BBVA Foundation and the Valencian Institute of Economic Research (IVIE) has drawn up, after a study, the list of the ten careers that guarantee 80% of their students that they will earn more than 1,500 euros from five years after leaving the classroom.
On the other hand, according to the study, there are some careers in which the percentage of workers who earn more than 1,500 euros is considerably lower.
These are: Occupational Therapy (15% of workers earn more than 1,500 euros five years after finishing their degree), Conservation and Restoration (16%), Fine arts (21%), speech therapy and marine sciences (22%), Information and documentation (23%), or Art History and Geography (25%).
The study was carried out taking into account the purchasing power in 2019 of graduate students in the academic year 2013-2014.
The most prestigious universities and job placement
As for the most prestigious universities according to the 2023 U-Ranking, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid stand out as leaders in teaching, research and innovation and in job placement.

On the contrary, the remaining 14 universities in the leading groups stand out for their results in one classification but not in the other two.
