These figures are averages calculated from the salary ranges listed in each job advertisement — specifically, the midpoint of the advertised minimum and maximum. Many graduate roles do not advertise a salary at all, so these figures represent only the subset of listings that include salary data. Actual offers may vary depending on employer, location, and candidate experience.
