Demographics of Higher Education

Although an issue of adult learning, this report by Universities UK, projects the demographics of universities in 20 years time, hence the children of today. The authors are keen to stress that the report does not predict what will happen, but that this report is intended to assist with an ongoing project into the future of the sector.

Key findings:
- Full time undergraduate will see a small rise (0.8%), but part time under-graduate will see a significant rise (4.7%)
- Whereas at postgraduate level the reverse is true: part-time learners will increase by more then part-time learners (2.6% to 1.7%)
- Overall HE learners will increase by 2.1% over the 20 years
