Computer science graduates in the U.K. earn more than any other undergraduate degree holder, according to the Good University Guide. In addition, computer science graduates earn more than five times as much as those who graduate with arts degrees. Computer science graduates from Imperial College London earned a median salary of about $65,720 six months after graduation, for example, while graduates in drama, dance, and cinematics at Liverpool Hope University earned an average of just $11,831 six months after graduation.
The guide also shows that only 15 of the 132 institutions included in the report graduate students who earn average starting salaries at or above $32,875, the threshold at which student loan payments begin. Many companies, in an effort to widen their talent pool, are ending the requirement that IT professionals and developers must hold a computer science degree to be hired.
