“What you learn” restates each module’s published learning outcomes in our own words, as short skill statements in the same form as the GCSE and A level curriculum, with the help of an AI model; fields of knowledge follow the twelve fields of the knowledge sphere. The university’s module page, linked from each title, is the authoritative description.

£39,500median pay three years after graduating
Lower quarter£29k
Median£40k
Upper quarter£51k

Median — the middle earner: half earned more, half less. Pay is for graduates of this subject at this university who finished in 2016-18, not adjusted for inflation; based on 325 graduates.

Discover Uni dataset (HESA and Office for Students, CC BY 4.0, contains HESA data); earnings from the Longitudinal Education Outcomes data (Department for Education) · aggregation level 24, 14, 13, 23

Half of graduates earned between £29,000 and £51,000. Five years on, the median is £53,000. 90% were in work or further study 15 months after finishing; 90% of those in work were in professional or managerial jobs.

What does it cost?

£10,050a year for UK students, 2027/28 entry

Tuition fee loan — paid straight to the university; repayments start the April after you leave, at 9% of income above the threshold. UK fees are capped by government and rise with inflation; placement and study-abroad years are usually charged at a lower rate.

Warwick fees page · source

About £30,150 in fees over 3 years, covered by a tuition fee loan you repay only when earning above the threshold.
