Funding of degree courses (FOI)

Request  

Please may I have a breakdown of statistics for numbers of students on different degree courses receiving funding from the States, and differentiating between local Highlands’ courses, and UK based ones.

What I am looking for is, for example: Subject of Course / Numbers going to UK / Numbers doing degree here.

I am aware that this data is already freely available for the 2014 to 2015 academic year, but would like data from the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015 to 2016 academic years.

Response

The information is provided in the following spreadsheet.

Download Finding information (size 70.7kb)

Please note that the information provides totals, those studying in Jersey, those studying in the UK and those studying overseas, by subject area.

Please also note that Highlands College is not the only provider of degrees on island and the figures provided in the Jersey column take account of all providers, not just Highlands College. 

Not all students register with Student Finance therefore the totals provided will not match the actual numbers of students attending Higher Education.

Each Freedom of Information request is responded to with live data. Therefore, it is likely that information regarding current student cohorts will change due to a number of circumstances; the student withdraws or fails their course, the fees change or the student / parent's actual income changes which in turn affects their entitlement. There may also be some students that have registered but who decide not to attend.
