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 University of Warwick’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, 283 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 Warwick.
