According to a report from the Royal Academy of Engineering, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates earn 4.47% more than those leaving university with a first in other subjects. Additionally, professionals working within science, technology and engineering occupations earn on average 19% more than the rest of the professional labour market.
Maintaining and increasing the number of students of STEM subjects was seen as a “pressing policy priority” by the report.
