Anyone going on to study Medicine & Dentistry can breathe a sigh of relief – not only do they stand they highest chance of being in a job a year after graduation, but they will be earning an average of £47,100 after five years.

Closely following behind in second place is Nursing, with 95.2% of graduates either entering the workplace or staying on for extra study within one year of completing their course.

But it’s not such great news for Languages, linguistics and classics students, who are the least likely to be employed after getting their qualification.

This is followed by Economics graduates, who can look forward to a salary of £49,800 on average 10 years after leaving education.

The outlook is more bleak for those studying Creative Arts and Design, who can only expect to earn £14,900 after their course – less than half the amount of those finishing medical school.

And the art graduates are looking at a salary of only £23,300 ten years later, which means they won’t have even started to pay back their loans, with the current threshold set at £25,725.

Five years after leaving university the average salary for these students is just £20,500 per annum – that’s £7,100 less than the current UK average salary of £27,600.

Agriculture graduates earn the second-lowest after five years, pulling in just £21,700. Humanities and Liberal Arts students earn the third-lowest five years after completing their course on £21,800.
