Further & Higher Education Market Report 2011
Key Note Publications Ltd, September 2011, Pages: 79
This Key Note Market Report covers all further and higher education institutes in the UK, including all types of colleges and universities, as well as adult education institutions and business schools. On top of this, the report also examines education towards further academia as well as training towards a specific profession or role. The UK is seen as one of the leading nations in the world when it comes to education and this is undoubtedly true particularly when it comes to further education, with the UK the location for some of the top universities in the world.
The number of students in further education continued to decrease in the 2009/2010 academic year, according to Key Note estimates. In this year student numbers fell by 1.1% to 3.4 million. However, the number of students in higher education continued to increase in the same year by 4.1%, according to Department for Education statistics, to 2.5 million people. This rise could perhaps be attributed to a high number of graduates struggling to find a job and therefore entering postgraduate study instead.
Looking at the UK’s leading universities, Oxford and Cambridge continue to lead the way in the league tables, followed by Imperial College London, London School of Economics (LSE) and Durham University. The University of St Andrews, University College London, the University of Warwick, the University of Lancaster and the University of Bath make up the remaining five of the top ten universities in the country that excel in teaching and research. A number of these universities also rank among the top ten universities in the world, along with some US institutions.
The main problems that the industry is facing include a reduction in funding and the chance of students becoming disenfranchised while tuition fees for higher education continue to rise. There have already been many marches and protests through Westminster to fight the rise in tuition fees, but they seem to have been unsuccessful.
In the future, Key Note estimates that the further education sector will continue to see small declines year-on-year in student numbers. Furthermore, it is anticipated that higher education establishments may see their student numbers drop by as much as 2.9% when the new tuition fees are introduced in the 2012/2013 academic year.
