Are there three tiers of universities in the UK, and is it important to get admission in a first-tier university for better marketability of my CV?

While there is no official “tier system” in the UK, universities are often informally grouped based on rankings, reputation, research quality, employer perception, and selectivity. Yes, there are lower-ranked universities in the UK as well, and university reputation can play a role in the marketability of your CV, especially for highly competitive jobs, consulting, finance, research, or top graduate schemes. Higher-ranked universities may provide stronger employer visibility, alumni networks, industry connections, and brand recognition. However, employability is not determined only by rankings. Your skills, internships, networking, projects, communication abilities, and prior work experience also matter significantly. A strong candidate from a mid-ranked university can often secure better opportunities than an average candidate from a top-ranked university.
