The Distribution of Salaries by Course

A median graduate salary is one number standing in for hundreds of courses. This chart plots every course individually, so you can see the actual spread behind that number — how tightly courses in a subject cluster together, or how far the best- and worst-paying ones sit apart.

Each dot is one course's own median graduate salary (not individual graduates' pay), from the HESA Discover Uni dataset. Courses with a cohort too small to report are excluded, and postgrad/top-up/alternate-entry courses are excluded site-wide. Figures compare courses, not people.

Each dot is one course, positioned by its salary along the horizontal axis (never shifted by more than one dot-width). Vertical position carries no meaning — it only spreads dots apart so they don't overlap. Hover a dot for details, or click it to open that course's page.
