General Median salaries to compare with below:

Interesting points from the depths of the LEO spreadsheet:
Fantastic to see Cambridge and Oxford at the bottom of a table for once. It gets a bit boring if you are a Careers Adviser. Interesting to see how much smaller the cohorts are in the newer medical schools, perhaps they are bigger now?
It’s not just about the money!
There are many reasons to go to university; Love of a subject, independent and critical thinking, independent living (if affordable!). It’s not just about salary levels, however applicants must not be misled by general statements about a blanket graduate dividend, these can be clearly bogus. See information below.
For courses with a clear vocational link, check to see if there is a relevant apprenticeship standard:
