After 3 Years, a Makers Academy
Graduate has paid the costs
of their tuition, and made £82k on top,
while a University Graduate still
has £25k debt
After 5 Years, Makers grads will have made over
£142k profit. A grad has technically made
back the cost of his degree plus a little
over £18,000
£ 300k
After 10 years, with no change in salary

almost £300k, while the Uni grad has made
just over half that, at £152,000
