Imperial Computer Science at one point had the highest average graduate salary of any course in the U.K. (don’t quote me on that, a few people told me). But then salaries for courses like Life Sciences were considerably lower in the 30s.
LSE is much farther ahead of the crowd because it offers a narrower range of courses, mostly centred around finance and business which lead to a lot of investment bankers which skew the average (they make 100k+ immediately), it doesn’t offer as many eg humanities courses compared to other universities here.
That’s also got the data both by uni and subject. Study computing, economics, law or maths if you want to earn the big bucks.
Imperial is probably no.2 after LSE
Salaries are not based on what university you came from.
Now show the percentage of university students who actually end up working in the field they studied.
This is just median, there’s going to HUGE variation in the actual figures.
They don’t really tell us much. Course. Industry. Progression. Prospects. Etc.
Fairly irrelevant table, because it doesn’t take into account that different universities will have more graduates in different fields, where the salaries are very different.
Comparing economics graduates at the LSE vs the Metropolitan makes a tad more sense…
I wouldn’t even get out of bed for that.
I don’t even call the last two a university. Not worthy of the name.
Where’s Regent’s?
Yeah, well, where is the university of LIFE?!
isnt min wage 28k?
Abysmal
Imperial isn’t even there ! Mylondon.fake.news
Oh nice university of west London doesn’t even make the top 17
All quite sad given the cost of life in London.
London Business School?
UoL universities*
Imperial is absent
These salaries are crap 💩 especially of you live in London
Also interesting
“Additionally, the data revealed that female graduates from the London School of Economics and Political Science had a median salary of £50,400 five years post-graduation, compared to their male counterparts who earned £61,400, indicating an 18 per cent gender pay gap.”
That’s shit I would say it’s time to vote Labour Party for sure it changes a lot 🤡
Considering that my graduate marketing job paid 31k over 10 years ago, this is all a bit depressing.
Us London Guildhall / London Met graduates don’t declare our income. * taps head *
5 years post UCL here. Boys we did NOT make it.
Tbh i changed careers thrice so…
Please know that this data is only based on the graduates who consent to offering this info about themselves, the likely true figures are lower as many graduates are embarrassed to not be working in their degree field or earning much so do not share this info when surveyed

Depends massively on the course as well.

What a joke.
