We said

We published an article on Graduates in the Labour Market in November 2013.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/graduatesintheuklabourmarket/2013-11-19

This was an "ad hoc" publication and we have not published any further statistics on graduate earnings.

However some information is available from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) microdata. The LFS microdata is available free of charge for users with an academic email address (ending in .ac.uk) from the UK Data Archive:

It is not possible to obtain data on graduates earnings either from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) or from the Monthly Wages & Salaries Survey (MWSS).
