Estimate for this university

All business master’s

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

Estimate: the business master’s figure, adjusted by how University of Hertfordshire’s business master’s graduates were paid compared with all universities (HESA survey of 2011/12 to 2016/17 leavers, 88 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 University of Hertfordshire.
