Universities are part of the tertiary education sector and offer students an academic education. They are divided into state and private universities, which differ in terms of their funding. While state universities are mainly financed by public funds, private universities are primarily financed by tuition fees. In the last five years, more and more school leavers have decided to study at university, which has increased the demand for places. The number of private universities in particular has grown. They are increasingly offering study programmes that are rarely available in this form at state universities. Turnover in the sector has risen by an average of 0.9% per year over the last five years and is expected to total 75.6 billion euros in the current year. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to growth of 0.7%.Public spending on education has risen over the last five years, which has also increased the income of universities. In addition, spending on research and development by the state and private institutions has increased, meaning that they are awarding more research contracts to universities. With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, universities have had to switch from face-to-face teaching to digital teaching at short notice and have had to make some very high investments to do so. In the five years up to and including 2029, average annual growth in industry turnover of 3.5% to 89.6 billion euros is expected in 2029. Due to the increasing academisation of many training occupations and a steadily growing range of courses on offer, demand for the services provided by universities is rising. Due to demographic change, however, student numbers are expected to decline in the long term, as the number of people in the relevant age group will decrease. The first signs of this can already be seen in the declining number of first-year students. It can be assumed that universities will increasingly focus on adult continuing education in the coming years.
