Estimate for this university

All computing master’s

All master’s, every subject (£44,900 at 5 years)

Estimate: the computing master’s figure, adjusted by how King's College London’s computing master’s graduates were paid compared with all universities (HESA survey of 2011/12 to 2016/17 leavers, 33 graduates, each salary brought up to date with its industry’s pay growth). Because that data is older, it counts for 40%; the other 60% comes from today’s undergraduate pay at King's College London.
