Estimate for this university
All finance master’s
All master’s, every subject (£44,900 at 5 years)
Estimate: the finance master’s figure, adjusted by how Nottingham’s finance master’s graduates were paid compared with all universities (HESA survey of 2011/12 to 2016/17 leavers, 65 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 Nottingham.
