2024 Graduate Outcomes Survey

Average Salaries The average salary data for UL graduates who have completed the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) provides valuable insights into the economic value of higher education. Several key factors significantly impact the earning potential of UL alumni. The award level achieved is a primary determinant, with higher qualifications often commanding higher salaries. The field of study is also crucial, as certain disciplines may offer more lucrative career paths due to industry demand. Additionally, the nature of the job role, the employment sector, and the job's geographical location can all influence salary outcomes. For instance, jobs in the technology or pharmaceutical sectors, especially in urban centres or regions with a high cost of living, may offer higher salaries to reflect the specialised skills required and the living expenses of the area. This data helps prospective and current students make informed decisions about their education and career paths but also assists employers and policymakers in understanding the dynamics of graduate employment and compensation. €54,540 Postgraduate Research €45,304 Taught Masters €35,486 Undergraduate Honours Degrees €36,911 Other Undergraduate Programmes €58,792 Postgraduate Certificates & Diplomas All Faculties
