HE Student Data Where do HE students come from?

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic was declared by the World Health Organisation in March 2020, just over half way through the 2019/20 academic year. An insight brief has been published that analyses the impact of the pandemic on student data and trends across years of enrolments and qualifications across various characteristics. There are two known areas in which the pandemic has had some impact:

  • There is evidence to suggest that among a few providers, administrative hold-ups related to the pandemic resulted in significant numbers of qualifications awarded in 2019/20 not being reported. The impact of this under-reporting is believed to explain some of the 3% decrease in the number of qualifications achieved in 2019/20 compared with 2018/19, and the impact is most noticeable on the number of part-time qualifications awarded. Qualifications that were not reported in the 2019/20 academic year have carried over to 2020/21 and contributed to the 9% increase in the number of qualifications awarded in 2020/21.
  • In relation to classifications of first degrees and other awards, many providers issued public statements that a 'no detriment' approach would be adopted when it came to assessment in 2019/20. This typically ensured that students would be awarded a final grade no lower than the most recent provider assessment of their attainment.

The 2019/20 to 2021/22 data was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exceptional guidance was issued to HE providers regarding a number of data fields within the collections to clarify HESA's expectations about how these fields should be treated in light of the pandemic.

The following tables and charts include information on where UK HE students come from (their domicile). Some information is taken from our Higher Education Student Statistics: UK, 2021/22 statistical bulletin.

All tables and charts include a link underneath allowing you to download the data. Many tables also include a link to download the complete source data as a machine-readable csv file.

In 2021/22, student enrollment numbers of EU and non-EU domiciled students saw substantial changes. Please see our Higher Education Student Statistics: UK, 2021/22 statistical bulletin for more information.

Detailed breakdown

The table below provides the greatest detail on where UK HE students come from. The rows display UK counties/unitary authorities and countries - use the Domicile marker drop-down to show only EU or non-EU countries.

On 28 February we published equivalent versions of Tables 11 and 59 by local authority/unitary authority level breakdown. The data covers academic years 2017/18 onwards, and is only available as a downloadable CSV file. See Table 61 and Table 62 for detail on this data and to download the data itself: Table-61 (CSV) and Table-62 (CSV).

At the time of publishing, the online interactive version of Table 59 was not displaying a small number of domicile regions, although these were available in the CSV download. This was corrected as soon as possible, with updates made on 31 March 2023.

The following table details UK unitary authority of domicile by HE provider. Use the regional radio buttons to access further detail on individual countries.

It has come to our attention that the csv downloads to tables 28 and 59 of the Student open data were incomplete at the time of publishing. Updated and corrected versions of the csv files were published in replacement of these at 4pm on 31st January 2023. The interactive tables remain complete and were unaffected by this issue.

Domicile by level of study

The chart below shows the proportion of non-UK domiciled students on different kinds of courses. Full-time postgraduate courses tend to have a relatively high proportion of non-UK domicile students.

Transnational education

The tables and charts below show information from the HESA Aggregate offshore record, capturing students studying wholly outside the UK who are either registered with a UK HE provider or who are studying for an award of a UK HE provider. Notable changes to the record from 2019/20 mean this data should be interpreted with caution.

In 2018/19 and earlier years, the Aggregate offshore record included all publicly funded HE providers in the UK and the University of Buckingham. From 2019/20, coverage expanded to include all English providers registered with the Office for Students’ (OfS) in the Approved (fee cap) and Approved categories and all publicly funded HE providers in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Additionally, Oxford Brookes changed their reporting practices for the 2019/20 academic year around which students they include in their Aggregate Offshore return. This resulted in a significant drop to the overall number of student enrolments based wholly overseas.

These tables and charts look at students who study for awards or courses of UK universities, but study overseas without coming to the UK. Data on these students is returned via HESA's Aggregate offshore record, and these students are counted separately from the HESA Student record population. See the Aggregate offshore definitions for more information.
