 2. The percentage of graduates who were in employment within 15 months of

 3. The average salary of graduates with a law degree.

 

This is taken from HESA’s Graduate Outcomes survey. Respondents include UK
and overseas students, and full and part-time students. Data are not yet
available for the 2021/22 cohort nor the 2022/23 cohort.

 

Year Average salary (£)
