Switzerland, France, and Britain have the most universities in top 19 ranking of where graduates earn the most in Europe.

That is according to Emolument.com's table of European colleges with the highest earning graduates.

The group analysed the salaries and bonuses of 5,622 graduates with a Bachelor or Masters degree from a European university and who has had 5-10 years' professional experience, in order see the median salary for graduates from each higher education institution.

There are some surprising results. For example, there is one UK university that produces graduates that earn just the same on average as those from the esteemed Oxford and Cambridge.
