学生就业哪家强 英国剑桥势难挡

Cambridgegraduates are the most employable in the world, according to a global league table. The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are ‘ready to work’, a poll of major employers found.

一项全球排名调查显示，英国剑桥大学的毕业生是全世界最适宜被雇佣的毕业生。接受票选的雇主们表示，古老的剑桥大学培养出来的学生都是“适合工作”的。

Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year. Harvard and Yale – part of the US‘Ivy League’ of universities – were second and third respectively.

去年的榜首——牛津大学，今年却跌至第四位。美国常春藤成员——哈佛大学和耶鲁大学则分别占据了第二、三名。有5所英国大学进入了榜单的前20，较之去年多了1所。在全部榜单的150所大学中英国共有12所大学上榜，在总体表现上略输于美国。

But the UK as a country came third – behind the US and Germany- when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work-ready graduates.

不过，当业主被问及哪个国家提供最多“适合工作”的毕业生时，英国却位列第三，排在美国和德国之后。

The table – the Global Employability University Ranking published by the International New York Times – also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts.

这份全球就业能力大学排名榜单由《国际纽约时报》发布，还反映出亚洲的大学正迅速培养出一批人才，与西方大学分庭抗礼。

Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010.

今年亚洲大学占据榜单前150位中的20%，比2010年榜单第一次发布时仅有的10%有了明显的增长。

The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London, in 14th place, Imperial College London, in 15th, andEdinburgh, 18th.

其余位列前20的英国大学有：第14名的英国大学伦敦学院、紧随其后的第15名帝国理工学院和位列第18的爱丁堡大学。

The coordinators of the table said it showed the gulf between a small number of eliteUKuniversities and less prestigious institutions.

排行榜的负责人说，这反映了少数英国精英大学和不太知名的教育机构之间的差距。

Laurent Dupasquier, managing partner at Emerging, a French human resources consultancy, said: ‘The top tier players, global brands (which tend to be all American and British), continue to lead, while other Anglo-Saxon universities, those that are mainly regional players, tend to fare less well, with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.

一家法国人力资源咨询公司的经营合伙人劳伦·达帕斯奎尔（Laurent Dupasquier）表示：“世界最顶层的竞争者，那些全球知名学府（他们大多是英美的），仍然位列前茅。但是其他的英国大学多数都是地区性的学府，表现稍逊，与去年相比，这些学府平均失去了5个榜单位置。”

‘Like the premier league, the champions have an international community of students and think internationally, unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.’

“跟英超一样，这些知名大学有来自全球各地的学生和国际化思维，不像其他以地区为导向的同行们。”

The table was compiled following a survey of 2,500 major recruiters in 20 countries. Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.

这个榜单是根据一项针对20个国家的2500所主流招聘企业进行的调查结果排出的。这些企业的业主根据一系列标准对大学进行排名，标准包括对“适宜工作”的毕业生的培养以及学校与行业的联系等。

The study claimed that ‘the days of ivory towers are over’.

这份研究声称“象牙塔时代已经终结。”

Graduates ‘should be firmly planted in their field of expertise as a result of practical training and internships’, it said.

毕业生们“应该为了实习和实际工作，扎实巩固自己的专业知识。”
