What is up with KCL unistats data/graduate prospects?

Those stats are all above average. What sort of stats are you expecting to see?

Depends but its a prestigious Russell Group uni in the centre of London. A family member went Kings and got a 50K salary for his year in industry and a job offer for when he graduated but he did Computer Science and worked for a well known bank. Depends on your skills, course ,your performance while in uni etc.

It’s not really, Swansea has practically the same on unistats. I am confused as everyone has been saying how it’s like one of the best universities in the country and great for graduate prospects but compared to other universities the stats are quite average.

Yeah I won’t be, the point of my question was to find out if there was a reason for the data being so low as I read that KCL was not very good at collecting it.

KCL don't collect that data on discoveruni. The salary data comes from HMRC and the DWP, the graduate employment data is collected by a market research agency employed by HESA.

The salary data shows medians and interquartile ranges for graduates of social science degrees 3-5 years ago who were employed in the UK in the 2018/19 tax year. It's really not something to get concerned about if you're not due to graduate until 2024 or later and you're taking Economics and not International Relations.

Thanks, why what is up with international relations? I was considering applying to that and politics at UCL.
