This argument is never ending but I had to rise to the bait again.....
For every story about some tin pot airline that won't take Oxford cadets there are many major ones (who you probably would prefer to work for anyway) who do, and who often prefer integrated cadets. BA take almost all cadets from FTE and Oxford, Jet2 have signed an exclusive deal with Oxford, FlyBe are sponsoring at the moment, NetJets is ongoing.....

There's nothing wrong with modular students but to say that going to Oxford puts you at a disadvantage is simply not true.

Also, don't get too obsessed with employment statistics. You are not a statistic, you are an individual. Make sure you work really hard and are towards the top of your course, and if you are an impressive, motivated, well rounded individual who's good at assessments and interviews, then it doesn't matter if only 10% are getting jobs so long as YOU are in that 10%!
