Graduate students starting salaries are rising much faster than the average student debt, a survey from NatWest has suggested.
On average students could expect to graduate with around £15,000 of debt in 2006 compared to £13,000 debt in 2005.
Complilmenting this, graduate student salaries have increased from £13,600 in 2005 to £14,900 in 2006.
Higher wages being earned by graduates underlined the value of a university education.
Usually a student who has enrolled on a three year university course this year can expect to pay £28,600 on tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses according to the survey.
NatWest is best known for its bank accounts, loans and mortgages.
