What graduates earn
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.

* When a course is too small to publish its own figure, we show the figure for similar courses at this university. Highlighted figures are the best of this university’s own course figures. Entry points are the middle UCAS score of students who started, counting all their qualifications, so they’re usually higher than the offer.
Typical offers are taken from each university’s own course page (checked October 2026). Offers change each year and some courses ask for specific subjects, so always check the course page before you apply.
Estimated offers (marked ~) are our estimate, not the university’s published offer. They come from courses whose students had similar grades, and are right to within one grade for about 84% of courses where we can check. Always check the course page.
Links go to the university’s own course pages, where you’ll find current entry requirements and fees.
