Each university’s figure is what a typical degree costs there: for private ones, the median of the fees they publish degree by degree; for public ones, the average price per credit times the 60 of a year. University-level employment and salary cover all graduates of each university in the 2019-2020 cohort, four years after finishing, so they depend above all on which degrees it teaches: a technical university pays more than a humanities one. The salary is the Social Security contribution base: gross pay, with legal caps at the top and at the bottom.
Degree counts come from the official catalogue, 2025-2026 academic year.
