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.
一項全球排名調查顯示,英國劍橋大學的畢業(yè)生是全世界最適宜被雇傭的畢業(yè)生。接受票選的雇主們表示,古老的劍橋大學培養(yǎng)出來的學生都是“適合工作”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——牛津大學,今年卻跌至第四位。美國常春藤成員——哈佛大學和耶魯大學則分別占據了第二、三名。有5所英國大學進入了榜單的前20,較之去年多了1所。在全部榜單的150所大學中英國共有12所大學上榜,在總體表現上略輸于美國。
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.
不過,當業(yè)主被問及哪個國家提供最多“適合工作”的畢業(yè)生時,英國卻位列第三,排在美國和德國之后。
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.
這份全球就業(yè)能力大學排名榜單由《國際紐約時報》發(fā)布,還反映出亞洲的大學正迅速培養(yǎng)出一批人才,與西方大學分庭抗禮。
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.
今年亞洲大學占據榜單前150位中的20%,比2010年榜單第一次發(fā)布時僅有的10%有了明顯的增長。
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的英國大學有:第14名的英國大學倫敦學院、緊隨其后的第15名帝國理工學院和位列第18的愛丁堡大學。
The coordinators of the table said it showed the gulf between a small number of eliteUKuniversities and less prestigious institutions.
排行榜的負責人說,這反映了少數英國精英大學和不太知名的教育機構之間的差距。
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.
一家法國人力資源咨詢公司的經營合伙人勞倫·達帕斯奎爾(Laurent Dupasquier)表示:“世界最頂層的競爭者,那些全球知名學府(他們大多是英美的),仍然位列前茅。但是其他的英國大學多數都是地區(qū)性的學府,表現稍遜,與去年相比,這些學府平均失去了5個榜單位置。”
‘Like the premier league, the champions have an international community of students and think internationally, unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.’
“跟英超一樣,這些知名大學有來自全球各地的學生和國際化思維,不像其他以地區(qū)為導向的同行們。”
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.
這個榜單是根據一項針對20個國家的2500所主流招聘企業(yè)進行的調查結果排出的。這些企業(yè)的業(yè)主根據一系列標準對大學進行排名,標準包括對“適宜工作”的畢業(yè)生的培養(yǎng)以及學校與行業(yè)的聯系等。
The study claimed that ‘the days of ivory towers are over’.
這份研究聲稱“象牙塔時代已經終結。”
Graduates ‘should be firmly planted in their field of expertise as a result of practical training and internships’, it said.
畢業(yè)生們“應該為了實習和實際工作,扎實鞏固自己的專業(yè)知識。”
