Typical (median) earnings for medicine graduates, across the universities we rank.
Highest earnings five years after graduating
The 15-month figure comes from the Graduate Outcomes survey and covers graduates in full-time work. The 3 and 5-year figures come from tax records and include everyone in work, including part-time, so they can be lower than the 15-month figure. Pay also depends on where people live. Compare earnings across all subjects or see what you’d repay on your student loan.
Put up to three medicine courses side by side, including how your grades fit.
These offer medicine but don’t yet have enough published data to rank fairly, often because the course is new or small.
