    What will I earn as a new graduate?
    New graduates do not necessarily earn a great deal more than their contemporaries who did not go to university. However, many careers are simply not open to non-graduates, for example professions like medicine, law, engineering and teaching. Other industries, such as media and publishing, also recruit almost exclusively from graduates, even though specific professional qualifications are not necessarily a requirement.

    The range of salaries for new graduates is very wide, depending on such factors as speciality, experience and location. Supply and demand also comes into play. Some highly competitive fields are not as well remunerated as those which suffer a shortage of suitably-qualified graduates. One practical approach is to look at the starting salaries on graduate job recruitment web sites to gain a realistic idea of what entry-level employees can expect once they embark upon their chosen careers.
