DESCRIPTION:This study examines how students at the London School of Econo
 mics (LSE) perceive the value of their university degree. The research emp
 loys mixed methods\, combining a survey of second- and third- year undergr
 aduates with follow-up in-depth interviews. The survey captured students
 ’ perceived educational gains\, priorities during university\, as well a
 s beliefs about factors influencing success at university and in the labou
 r market. Students with different profiles — defined by their understand
 ings of success—were selected for in-depth interviews to explore how the
 y negotiated between competing priorities. Findings show how under perceiv
 ed conditions of social congestion (Brown\, 2013)\, students navigate elit
 e higher education as a site for cultivating multiple forms of graduate ca
 pital (Tomlinson\, 2017) so as to gain positional advantages over other gr
 aduates.\nSpeakers:\nDr Fiona Gogescu (LSE)
