Is a business degree worth it?
These figures come from an illustrative seed catalogue until HMRC LEO ingest completes — treat medians as directional, not official. Business graduates in this dataset show 5-year median earnings £26,061 — closer to the middle of the pack for similar cohorts. Employment at ~15 months averages 90% (strong graduate employment rates), and NSS satisfaction averages 80% (students tend to report solid satisfaction). Whether a business degree is "worth it" depends on your career aim, entry grades, and which university you choose — not the subject label alone.
