What is an undergraduate degree?
Undergraduate degrees are the first stage of higher education. An undergraduate degree aims to develop your in-depth foundational knowledge in a specific field. Many students take their undergraduate degree after completing sixth form or college in the UK, but you can study for one at any time in life – whenever it's right for you.
As well as developing your knowledge in a chosen field, undergraduate degrees also equip you with employability skills such as collaboration, communication, analytical thinking, and decision-making. The aim is to graduate equipped for the modern world of work or further study at postgraduate level.
An undergraduate degree usually takes three years of full-time study to complete. At Walbrook, our undergraduate degrees are studied full-time over three years at our London campus.
Is a bachelor's degree an undergraduate degree?
Yes, a bachelor's degree is an undergraduate degree. In many countries, including the UK, the terms 'bachelor's degree' and 'undergraduate degree' are often used interchangeably.
More precisely, 'undergraduate' describes the level of study, while a bachelor's degree is the qualification you work towards at that level.
The term 'bachelor's' refers to the title of the undergraduate degree, such as Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc). At Walbrook, our specialist undergraduate degrees are Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees.
What is the average undergraduate salary in the UK?
The latest HESA Graduate Outcomes data shows that UK first-degree graduates in full-time paid employment earned a median salary of £30,000 around 15 months after graduating. Graduate salaries vary depending on your subject, career, experience and where you work, so what you earn after university will depend on the path you take.
Specifically, young graduates working full-time in banking and finance in England earned a median salary of £35,500 in 2023, according to the Department for Education.
Reasons to do an undergraduate course
An undergraduate degree is more than a qualification – it can help you build the knowledge, skills and opportunities for what comes next. It can:
Open up new career opportunities – 87.6% of graduates in England were in employment in 2024.
Help you build towards highly skilled work – 67.9% of graduates were in high-skilled employment in 2024.
Develop skills you can take into your career – from analytical thinking and problem-solving to communication, collaboration and decision-making.
Prepare you for further study – a bachelor’s degree can also give you the foundation to progress to postgraduate study, including a master’s degree.
At Walbrook, you’ll study with your future in mind – building specialist financial knowledge alongside the analytical, digital and professional skills you can take into your career.
In the UK, a full-time undergraduate bachelor’s degree usually takes three years to complete. At Walbrook, both of our undergraduate BSc (Hons) degrees are studied full-time over three years at our London campus.
A bachelor’s degree is a type of undergraduate degree. More precisely, ‘undergraduate’ describes the level of study, while a bachelor’s degree is the qualification you work towards at that level.
Bachelor’s qualifications include the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BSc). At Walbrook, our undergraduate programmes lead to a BSc (Hons) degree.
There isn’t one salary that counts as ‘good’ for every graduate – earnings vary by career, employer, location and experience. As a useful benchmark, the latest HESA Graduate Outcomes data shows that UK first-degree graduates in full-time paid employment earned a median salary of £30,000 around 15 months after graduating.
Salaries can be higher in banking and finance. Department for Education data shows that 21–30-year-old graduates working full-time in banking and finance in England earned a median salary of £35,500 in 2023, compared with £31,500 for young graduates across all industries. Banking and finance had the second-highest median salary among the industries reported for young graduates.
Yes, you can study for a second undergraduate degree in the UK. Degree providers can accept applicants who already hold a bachelor’s degree, although you’ll still need to meet the entry requirements for the new course.
If you normally live in England, student finance for courses starting from 2027 is changing under the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). You may be able to receive funding for a second undergraduate degree, including a qualification at the same or a lower level than one you already hold. How much Tuition Fee Loan you have available will depend on any government funding you received for previous study.
