## Resource

Manchester University just dropped a major move: every undergrad, no matter their major, gets real-world work experience before graduation. From classics to chemical engineering, this first-of-its-kind Russell Group program aims to bridge the gap between theory and the job market, tackling the growing problem of graduates stuck in low-paying roles. While critics question the logistics and whether students can juggle work and studies, the university’s strong industry ties and commitment to making placements standard—not optional—are designed to give all 32,000 students a practical edge in a fast-changing job market.
