UCL salary per subject type: Median, lower quantile & upper quantile
The bar heights show the median salary 1, 3 and 5 years after graduation for each subject type. The lower and upper quantiles are illustrated by the vertical black lines on each bar. Assuming an exponential growth of the salary, we can fit an exponential function to each of the three salary points (1, 3 and 5 years) per subject type, in order to estimate the annual salary growth rate. The table below shows the results.
