This bulletin is the annual first release of HESA student data. It covers data about higher education students and qualifiers from the following types of providers within the UK: Higher education (HE) providers in England registered with the Office for Students (OfS) in the Approved (fee cap) or Approved categories; Publicly funded HE providers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; and Further education (FE) colleges in Wales. These providers submit data to HESA via either the Student record or the Student alternative record. This is the third year that data from both records have been combined together in the figures within this release to provide a more complete picture of higher education within the UK. Further details on coverage can be seen in the notes section of this release. This bulletin also includes information from the HESA Aggregate Offshore record and can be seen in Figure 12. This separate record counts students studying wholly outside the UK who are either registered with the reporting HE provider or who are studying for an award of the reporting HE provider.

This release includes more detail on higher education students than was published in the student statistics bulletin in January 2021.

There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

The dataset comprises 13 interview transcripts, with sensitive information redacted. These interviews were conducted online during the Spring and Summer of 2021 and involved international students who had participated in study abroad or degree-seeking programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The interviews focused on the students' experiences as they transitioned from traditional in-person programs to online and blended learning due to pandemic-related isolation measures.

In 2021, around 173,400 higher education students both lived and studied in the same municipality in Sweden.

In Sweden, 384,000 higher education students were registered in 2021.

To understand the perceptions of families, students, and teachers regarding their school. School leaders use feedback from the survey to reflect and make improvements to schools and programs. Also, results from the survey used to help measure school quality. Each year, all parents, teachers, and students in grades 6-12 take the NYC School Survey. The survey is aligned to the DOE's Framework for Great Schools. It is designed to collect important information about each school's ability to support student success.

Forecast mean total loan outlay per higher education undergraduate student, by course start year and number of years of funding across 2021/22 to 2027/28

Revenue in the Higher Education industry in Europe is anticipated to expand at a compound annual rate of 0.7% to €148.2 billion over the five years through 2025, with a 0.2% rise in revenue in 2025. Higher education remains an extremely popular option for school leavers, which supports the demand for places. Institutions rely heavily on individual government funding, with donations and student contributions making up the rest. There is a growing number of students across Europe, with 18.8 million students in higher education last reported by the European Commission in 2022. The increasing student population boosted demand for higher education places, supporting enrollment in universities across Europe and improving revenue figures. The COVID-19 outbreak severely hindered European higher education operations in 2020 and 2021. With most face-to-face teaching switched to online teaching, universities had to invest heavily in the equipment and online education tools to keep courses running remotely while reimbursing accommodation fees, which cut into profit. Enrolments in universities throughout Europe have surged since 2021 due to people deferring during the outbreak, uncertainty over hiring chances in the job market and EU targets to increase university uptake by 2030. Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.7% to €153.4 billion over the five years through 2030. Governments throughout Europe are targeting greater enrolment in higher education since many countries are facing a growing skill gap in their labour markets. A growing demand for specific skills in the labour market will encourage attendance at higher education colleges, boosting revenue.
