Footnotes

1. The graduate group does not include postgraduates.
2. Caution should be exercised when interpreting salary data - figures are not adjusted for inflation and are rounded to the nearest £500.
3. The method for calculating weighted median salaries has been adjusted for the 2021 publication, which has resulted in changes to the back series for several groups compared with previous GLMS releases. Further details are set out within the methodology.
4. Where no figure is shown, the data has been suppressed due to sample size.
5. Disability status – Disabled/ Not Disabled. This breakdown is based on the legal definition found in the Equality Act (2010) which defines a disability as “a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on your ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities”.
