* All 102 law schools, ranked by average grad
salary
This is what it says on the tin: every university in Great
Britain, ranked by how much its graduates earn five years after
leaving with an undergraduate law degree, Legalcheek report.[1]
The figures come from the government, combining the Department
of Education data on people’s degrees with data from the taxman on
how much the same people are earning five years later. They only
cover people who were living in the UK before starting uni — so not
international students — and are looking at their first
undergraduate degree, not second degrees or law conversion courses
or a master’s.
There are also some disclaimers, such as “it should be noted
that figures do not control for differences in the characteristics
of graduates (e.g. prior attainment) or region of work, and so
comparisons should be made with care”.
Yeah, right. Here’s the full list…
