Never miss a moment Stay ahead with live news updates in our award-winning app One year for £29 | | Teenagers across the country will find out their A-level results this morning |  | Lauren Davidson Executive Money Editor | At 8am, a quarter of a million teenagers will find out their A-level results – and what those may mean for their university places, career options and future earning potential.
The rising cost of a degree means that going to university is no longer a decision to be taken lightly. A three-year undergraduate course will rack up £28,605 in tuition fees alone, not to mention rent, bills, food and other living costs.
The average graduate leaves university with a debt of £53,000, which they will pay back with 4.3 per cent interest once their salary hits £25,000. These repayments could take 40 years.
This hefty cost makes it all the more important to choose a university wisely and avoid Mickey Mouse degrees, those worthless or irrelevant courses that are unattractive to employers.
The Telegraph is here today to help make these big decisions easier.
For students who want to make sure their higher education leads to a higher salary, our exclusive tool reveals the best and worst degrees. Enter a desired course and university to find out how many graduates have secured a job and what they earn after one and five years.
And for those who decide to avoid the decades of debt – or have the choice made for them by missed grades – we’ve collated the most lucrative apprenticeships here.
Whatever the grades, our tools will help students plot a path to success right away. | | Donald Trump is preparing to offer Vladimir Putin access to rare earth minerals to incentivise him to end the war in Ukraine |  | Connor Stringer Deputy US Editor | When Donald Trump stood before reporters in Washington on Wednesday, he threatened Vladimir Putin with “severe consequences” if he does not agree to end his war on Ukraine when they meet in Alaska tomorrow.
Yet privately, the US president is preparing to present his Russian counterpart with a series of incentives to agree to a ceasefire.
This includes giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia, and opening up Alaska’s natural resources to Moscow.
Other money-making opportunities include lifting some of the American sanctions on Russia’s aircraft.
If all goes to plan, Mr Trump plans to seek an immediate second meeting with Putin, this time involving Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine.
But Mr Zelensky, sidelined from Friday’s summit, is not convinced and has warned the US president that Putin is “bluffing”.

Russian soldiers are disguising themselves in civilian clothing to infiltrate the key logistical hub of Pokrovsk and attack Ukrainian troops from within, The Telegraph can reveal. Kyiv’s military must now decide who is friend or foe in the key city. Continue reading ➤ | |  | | Ken MacKenzie has always loved spending time at his holiday home in Praia d’El Rey. So after retiring, he convinced his wife Diane to move there permanently last year. The slower life in Portugal is everything Mr MacKenzie had hoped for; swimming every day, playing golf and walking his dog, Gizmo. The couple are among thousands of British expats lured by Portugal. Not only is the weather better and the cost of living lower, it is also relatively easy to get a residence permit.

Rosa Silverman reports on the unlikely meeting between the two, and gives us an insight into Skinner, a fried breakfast connoisseur and social media motivator who has been described as “England incarnate”.

Alien: Earth
Disney+ ★★★★★ Ridley Scott’s original Alien was as lean and relentless as the phallic nightmare that vaulted free of John Hurt’s chest during 1970s cinema’s ultimate brunch from hell. But its very perfection was also a curse, with subsequent entries going off half-cocked by comparison.
That sorry decline is now reversed spectacularly by Noah Hawley’s gripping small-screen spin-off. Scary, action-packed and often grotesque, it is infused with the bleak spirit of the Scott blockbuster while refusing to be overawed by it, writes Ed Power. Theatre One Brilliant Thing
Soho Place ★★★★★ It takes a brave soul to embark on a live stage show that relies on the participation of dozens of audience members – the theatrical equivalent of wobbling across a tightrope while juggling fiery chainsaws. Yet it’s key to this popular 2014 play, which makes its long-awaited West End debut after being performed in more than 80 countries. While ostensibly a solo piece, in practice it’s a true group effort – though, on its opening night, the blazingly charismatic Lenny Henry resolutely led the charge, says Marianka Swain.
Until Nov 8; sohoplace.org Television Ridley
ITV1 ★★☆☆☆ The singing detective is back. If you remember the first series of ITV’s Ridley, starring Adrian Dunbar as a retired DI drafted in to assist his old force, it won’t be for the plots. The memorable thing about this crime drama is that, once per episode, Dunbar breaks into song. Ridley is a calming comfort watch – but it needs to devote as much care to the storylines as it does to the jazz, writes Anita Singh. | Warm memories Every weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal Reader Correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
I’m about as well suited to the heat as the average Highland cow, so have found myself struggling at various points in recent weeks. To me, temperatures over 30C in Britain feel wrong, incongruous. This country wasn’t built for them (remember when the runway at Luton Airport melted a few years ago?) and nothing here, at least in the view of this freckled redhead, is enhanced by them.
Just as well I wasn’t around for the summer of 1976, when the mercury routinely exceeded 32C and, in a nightmarish touch worthy of Hieronymus Bosch, the pubs ran out of lager. But many Telegraph readers remember those days. And maybe I should stop complaining. It sounds like you managed to have a good time.
N Griffin recalled: “To be a teenager during the 1970s was to hit the jackpot in life, although we didn’t know it. In 1976 I dumped my holiday job and spent the rest of the summer on the beach. I knew a free degree was coming and the world (or Britain, at least) was my oyster. Fighting off the swarms of ladybirds was a breeze.”
Dani Akrigg added: “This was the summer I graduated. One day I was with friends in Sussex, having fun in the countryside, and we decided to light a barbecue. Ten minutes later we were accosted by a couple of farmers with buckets of water, which they threw at the barbie – then at us.”
Matt Fletcher “was eight years old, and a marbles craze gripped the junior school. We played on the back field, winning each other’s prize marbles. One lucky day I found a marble about an inch in diameter, which had been lost in the grass, and picked it up. It was so hot it burnt my fingers”.
It wasn’t all fun and games, though. Eileen Letestu “worked for six weeks in a factory to raise funds for a hitchhiking trip to Italy with a boyfriend. Every scorching morning I travelled 10 miles on the bus to work. On arrival in Italy it was pouring with rain”.
Jennifer Kimber, meanwhile, “was pregnant. Enough said”.
