Editorial provision index

Links between universities and subjects are our own index of the30 courses on this site, not an official extract from UCAS or HESA. A university may offer more, fewer, or differently named courses than we show. Always confirm on UCAS before you apply. CourseToJob is not UCAS.

We do not publish league tables, student numbers or fees, and we do not sell featured listings. The earnings list below sorts universities by one official DfE figure; it is not a quality ranking.

Five years after graduating, London School of Economics graduates had the highest median earnings among universities with at least 500 graduates measured (£59,700), followed by Imperial College London (£57,100) and University of Cambridge (£52,300). Source: DfE LEO provider-level data, 2023–24 tax year.

All-subject median earnings of UK-domiciled first-degree graduates 5 years after graduating (2017/18 graduates), tax year 2023–24. Universities with at least 500 graduates measured. Unadjusted for subject mix, entry grades or where graduates work, which can favour universities with many graduates in high-paying subjects or regions; not a measure of teaching quality.
