Postgraduate degrees are highly regarded by UK employers, with postgraduates having higher rates of employment than graduates and non-graduates – as reflected in the government’s Graduate labour market statistics 2021.

It also shows that postgraduates are more likely to be in high-skilled employment such as professional and managerial roles. The stats show that almost 77% of working-age postgraduates were in highskilled employment compared to 65% of working-age graduates. The Graduate labour market statistics 2021 also reports that on average full-time employed, working-age postgraduates earn on average £6,000 more per year than graduates, with average salaries of £42,000 and £36,000.
