Estimate for this university

All economics master’s

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

Estimate: the economics master’s figure, adjusted by how Queen Mary University of London’s economics master’s graduates were paid compared with all universities (social studies, which includes economics; HESA survey of 2011/12 to 2016/17 leavers, 58 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 Queen Mary University of London.

Range of pay

£34,900 to £59,900 after 1 year

£46,600 to £93,600 after 5 years

In work or study

82.8% after 5 years, all universities

75% in graduate jobs or study after 15 months, Queen Mary University of London

Full-time taught master’s graduates of this university in economics in professional or managerial work or further study, about 15 months on, 2020 to 2023 (Office for Students).
