Key indicators

1) Exclusive executive and professional education, contract and fee-financed education. On the production of statistics for 2020, data on HST and HPR students for 2019 were adjusted to exclude only executive and professional and contract education. Accordingly, some data have been adjusted in relation to previous annual reports. 

2) The production of statistics for 2022 was based on a full year rather than one reference month, as previously. Data for the comparison years have been adjusted accordingly.

3) Net study time.

4) Stated as per the ASHEI recommendation on premises costs concerning the collation of such costs, see annex 2 to the recommendations (REK 2014:1, 2015-10-26, ref. no 14/069).
