I attended a friend’s graduation ceremony yesterday and it was nice. She attended Glasgow Caledonia University. It is a well-known university that has students from different countries: a fairly diverse university and population.

As I crossed the street to enter the graduation hall, I saw the first person in a graduation gown and felt anxious in a good way. I called my friend to come pick me up at the front of the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow so I could take some photos of him before the graduation ceremony started.

I took many beautiful photographs and he was pleased with them. We walked in, showed the security guide a pass, and I found my seat with my friend’s guide, who was graduating.

As they sat, it took a while for graduation to begin, but it was a lovely ceremony that began with the school staff at work and keynote speeches, followed by the call from the PhD graduates to the undergraduate students.

It was such a beautiful sight; Everyone came out, holding their certificates and diplomas as if they were the keys to a whole new world. I sat there, taking it all in and enjoying every part of the ceremony. The people were full of excitement. I could hear the laughter and applause of the invited friends and family, and everyone was eager to capture the perfect moment on video. The energy soared as names were called: screams, cheers, and the sweet chaos of celebration filled the air. It was a true outpouring of pride and happiness for each graduate.

After graduation, we headed to the university building. Many students continued to take photos as the university’s social media team attempted to gather students to take photos to be used on the university’s website.

After taking some photos of my dress, I went into the library area to warm up because it was a very cold day. At that moment I found myself thinking:

1. How many of these students actually require this degree?

2. Will they make practical use of the knowledge acquired?

3. Could the funds spent on tuition have been invested in more innovative activities?

4. Are some of these students on a path of celebration that might not align with their true destinies?

5. How many of these students would never use this certificate?

6. How many of these students does the UK actually offer job opportunities?

I continued to think about these questions as I watched students come and go in the library area.

The UK welcomes many students every year for educational purposes, and many of them leave their jobs and senior positions with the mindset of getting a decent job after studying in the UK, but for the majority of foreign students, this is far from reality. .

Why would the UK admit students to master’s programs only to find that they often start at the lowest levels of real-world employment? If they meet the requirements for a master’s degree, shouldn’t the knowledge imparted enable them to perform roles at the corresponding level?

To what extent have these foreign students really achieved success? This was the question that came to mind as I looked at them all dressed in their beautiful outfits.

I read an article before sharing this post, which states that international graduates face a significant challenge in securing graduate level employment in the UK. Currently, only 7% of all international graduates are successful.

If the UK defends the quality of education it provides to foreign students, why the struggle of these graduates to get well-paid jobs? It is easier for a UK citizen with a bachelor’s degree to get a job than for a foreigner with a PhD. This stark reality demands scrutiny and explanation.

How much have these foreign students achieved?
