Although the Covid-19 pandemic, which wreaked havoc on fresh university graduates' employment prospects in 2020 and 2021, has not been eliminated - things are looking up for the class of 2021.
This is according to the latest 2021 Graduate Employment Survey (GES), jointly conducted by the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University (SMU) and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).
Do note that the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) are still conducting their graduate salary surveys. We will update this article when the information is released.
The survey, which was published today (Feb 16, 2022), polled 11,200 fresh graduates enrolled in full-time university degrees from NUS, NTU, SMU and SUSS to gather information about their employment status and salaries as of Nov 1, 2021.
The results from the GES indicated that the proportion of fresh graduates who found permanent full-time jobs increased to 84 per cent in 2021 - up 14.2 per cent from 69.8 per cent in 2020.
However, the median gross monthly income for graduates who found permanent full-time jobs only increased marginally to $3,800 last year, up from $3,700 in 2020.
If you are a fresh uni graduate, pay attention now.
This article will help you:
- Choosing your university course (pay is one of many factors to consider)
- Provide information about how your peers are doing
- Negotiate your salary when you are finding a job
- Help you RECOGNISE YOUR WORTH.

An important thing to note is that this guide is not a super exact be-all and end-all of what kind of salary a fresh graduate should get. But, it should still prove very helpful in negotiating your salary and help in your decision making when it comes to your studies and career.

Why did the surveyors use median salary?
In case you would like to know why the surveyors are using the median salary:
- Mean: An average of the salaries
- Median: The 50th percentile, meaning the "central" graduate amongst everyone.
Median is a more accurate reference as data of the salaries received are not symmetrically distributed.
