By. Sarah Harris. A fifth of students are unemployed six months after graduating from some British universities, figures show. Amid stiff competition for graduate jobs, they fail to get work despite studying for three years and building up debts. The chances of landing a job vary considerably between institutions. Fourteen universities have unemployment rates above 15 per cent. Prospects: Where graduates study has a big impact on their chances of finding a job. Some students are around ten times more likely to be left unemployed than those graduating from other mainstream degree courses. At London South Bank University, 22.6. per cent of students were not working or embarking on further study six. months after graduating last summer, figures from the Higher Education. Statistics Agency show. The unemployment rate stood at 20.6. per cent at the University of East London and 18.9 per cent at the. University of Bolton. The national average was 9.2 per cent. The agency’s figures will be. particularly alarming for undergraduates who started degree courses last. September when tuition fees were tripled to up to £9,000 a year. Some. could leave with debts of around £30,000. The best performing mainstream university was Robert Gordon in Aberdeen where only 2.3 per cent of students were out of work. Among the prestigious Russell Group. of universities – considered to be some of the best in the country – all. but one had an unemployment rate below 10 per cent. Top of the class: Every student to leave the Royal Academy of Music, London found work, the survey found. It was 12.5 per cent at Queen Mary, University of London. Graduates from some of the. institutions with the lowest unemployment rates are so successful. because they have been on niche courses that aim to give them the. training to shoehorn them into their vocations. All 25 graduates from the Royal. Academy of Music in Central London were employed or studying after. finishing their course last year, along with 98.9 per cent at the. Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in South-East London. The figures also showed that students. from Northampton and Derby universities were more likely to be in work. than Oxbridge graduates. Only 92 per cent of graduates who were at Oxford had a job six months after finishing their studies. Northampton had an unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent, while Derby’s was 3.9 per cent. Oxford’s was 8 per cent and Cambridge’s 5.1 per cent. The majority of the 163 UK. institutions surveyed by the statistics agency saw between 90 and 95 per. cent of students in work or study six months after graduating, while at. 18 universities more than 95 per cent of students were in this. category. Other data released by the agency. last week found that the number of graduates taking menial jobs such as. shelf stackers, rubbish collectors and cleaners has almost doubled over. the past six years. Six months after graduating last. year, 9,695 – 6 per cent of those finding employment – had taken up. posts that did not require degrees.

question: A submarine found by anti-drug police in Ecuador last week cost $4 million to build and could have hauled 6 to 10 metric tons of cocaine, a top U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official said Wednesday. The fully functional submarine was built at a drydock at a clandestine complex that housed 50 people, said Jay Bergman, Andean regional director for the DEA. Authorities found the sub hidden in marshland under triple-canopy jungle, Bergman told CNN's "American Morning" program. "This is the first seizure of a clandestinely constructed fully operational submarine built to facilitate trans-oceanic drug trafficking," the DEA said in a statement last week. "Traffickers historically employed slow-moving fishing boats, sail boats, pleasure craft go-fasts," Bergman said last week. "The advent of the narco-submarine presents new detection challenges for maritime interdiction forces. The submarine's nautical range, payload capacity and quantum leap in stealth have raised the stakes for the counter-drug forces and the national security community alike." The vessel utilizes twin screws and is diesel-electric powered, the agency said. It is about 98 feet (30 meters) long and 9 feet (nearly 3 meters) high from the deck plates to the ceiling. It has a periscope and an air-conditioning system.

answer: Submarine could have hauled 6 to 10 metric tons of cocaine, DEA says. The $4 million vessel was built at a clandestine complex. Sub is first of its kind found by drug agents, DEA says. It is diesel-electric powered, the drug agency said.

Problem: Prince Philip, pictured, has started using a special mobile phone for the hard of hearing. He only bedgrudgingly started to wear a hearing aid in public a few months ago. But Prince Philip is already making adjustments for it in other areas of his life. The 93-year-old royal has just started using a special mobile phone especially designed for people suffering from hearing loss, it can be revealed. Most high street phones are not compatible for people wearing aids because of the levels of interfearence. And while Philip’s new amplicomms M8000 is short on smart phone-style gimmicks, it can be up to 80 times louder than regular mobiles. It also has a powerful vibrating alert - and a ringtone that can sound as loud as a road drill. The phone also boasts a voice assisted operating system, a large keypad and screen and an SOS emergency button linked to five pre-selected numbers. Despite his age Philip is also something of a silver surfer who regularly uses the internet and was one of the earliest users of a mobile communication device when he had one fitted in his car back in 1953, He will, therefore, no doubt be delighted with the phone’s one touch 2megapixel camera and video recorder. The £99 phone was sent to the Queen’s husband as a gift by Hearing Direct, a firm set up by Prince William and Prince Harry’s close friend, millionaire businessman Jamie Murray Wells. The firm received a standard thank you letter on its receipt. But then shortly before Christmas the company received a call from Philip’s private secretary to say how much he loved it. ‘Apparently the Prince said it was the best he had ever used and his aide asked us if there were any extra accessories to go with it,’ said a company source. Director Gary Hill added: ‘We wanted to offer our support to the Prince, hopefully with a gift that he would find really useful. ‘We spoke to a representative of HRH Prince Philip who said that The Prince is very pleased with the M8000, and it is an improvement on anything else he has used in the recent past. ‘We’ve since sent a car charger and headphones that will help keep conversations private. ‘We hope Prince Philip is benefiting from his new hearing aids. Too many people avoid wearing Hearing Aids, risking exclusion from so much happening around them.’ Prince Philip has only recently started wearing a hearing aid in public which is barely visible, left, and is said to be very pleased with his new mobile handset, similar to the one on the right, with its loud ringtone. Philip was first seen in public wearing hearing aids on each year at a public reception last October. It was a rare concession to his age for the prince, who normally bats off enquiries about his health with a brusque: ‘Do I look bloody ill?’ Just a fifth of people with hearing problems wear an aid because of the apparent ‘stigma’, a study by The University of Manchester found earlier last year. Professor Kevin Munro, Ewing Professor of Audiology at The University of Manchester who worked on the study, said: ‘There still seems to be a stigma attached to wearing a hearing aid, where as there is little stigma now associated with vision loss and wearing spectacles. ‘.
