Patterns of Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Ninth Report

Overview & Synopsis

This report is the ninth in a series published annually by Universities UK, with the support of GuildHE and the UK Higher Education Europe Unit, updating and expanding a rich variety of data through which to understand higher education institutions in the UK. Since its first report in 2001, has examined the trends in UK higher education at both the sector and institutional level. We have built up a 10-year time series of information that has proved very useful to senior managers in the sector as well as being drawn upon by many outside higher education. In addition, each report has focused in its final section on a particular issue of interest. Appended are: (1) Total enrolments by detailed subject of study, 1998/99 and 2007/08; (2) Non-UK domiciled students at UK higher education institutions by domicile and qualification aim, 2007/08; (3) Trends in sources of income to higher education institutions, 2000/01, 2006/07 and 2007/08; (4) Distribution of enrolments among higher education and further education institutions by mode and level, 2006/07; (5) Mergers within the higher education sector, 1994/95-2007/08; (6) HESA academic cost centres; (7) Definitions of higher education; (8) Countries included in the Section C analysis; (9) Mobility of students at European institutions, 2006; and (10) Sources.
