| SS Analytics’ commitment to higher education research... As a result of our interactions with higher education entities and leaders, we have learned of the importance of international benchmarking ...Thus, SS Analytics will take the initiative to begin investigating these areas...we will begin studying and benchmarking the student enrolment growth of the Australian University sector and the University sector of the United Kingdom of Great Britan. The information will be available on this website at absolutely no cost... |
The Student Growth of the Australian and UK University sectors... ...the differences in student growth between the Australian and the UK sectors are primarily affected by two factors: the number of universities that each sector has proportional to their populations, and the institutional densities of both countries...signs of a level playing field cannot be observed as distinctly in the Australian sector precisely because of the effects of there being fewer universities and lower institutional density. The effects of these factors are more apparent in the growth of the overseas populations. |

Average Enrolment of Australia and UK Universites Statistical Systems Analytics has conducted a study that compares the student growth of Australian and United Kingdom universities. The Figure shows two lines for each of the sectors. The solid line represents the non-liner growth in average total student population size, while the dashed lines represent the linear growth. Both these lines are close to each other in curvature, which allows for an efficient linear interpretation. Clearly, the rate of growth of the average enrolment in Australia is greater than that of the UK... Data for the analysis has been obtained from the following sources:Source Australia: DIISRTE.Copyright Commonwealth of Australia, reproduce by permission of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science, Research and Tertiary Education.Source United Kingdom: HESA.Reproduced by permission of the Higher Education Statistics Agency Limited.HESA cannot accept responsibility for any conclusions or inferences derived from the data by third parties.Note: The time series for the UK is in fact from 2006/07 to 2010/11 because the academic year in the UK begins in autumn and ends the following summer. | |
