SINGAPORE - Nine in 10 Yale-NUS graduates found jobs within six months of completing their final examinations, with those who hold a Bachelor of Science with Honours degree earning a median gross salary of $5,350.
This was higher than any of their counterparts at the National University of Singapore (NUS), said the liberal arts college in a statement on Saturday (Feb 20). However, it noted that the salary figure was based on a relatively small sample of fewer than 30 graduates.
Among NUS graduates, newly minted lawyers and doctors and those with computing degrees earned the most, with starting salaries also around the $5,000 mark. Those in more general fields, such as sciences or the arts, had lower salaries - especially if they did not do an honours degree.
