Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Answer of 5 June 2003 to Question HL2549, how many students entered (a) Oxford and (b) Cambridge universities from (i) UK independent (ii) UK state schools (iii) other and overseas (iv) in total.
Answered by Michelle Donelan - Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology
The latest data published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) for the academic year 2018/19 is shown in the attached table.
Information on the type of school that entrants to the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge have come from is only published for entrants under the age of 21. This is because the data collected is the previous educational provider that was attended by the entrant. Therefore, for mature students entering the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge, this may relate to study subsequent to key stage 5.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) total income and (b) fee income each higher education institution received from (i) all students, (ii) UK students, (iii) all non-UK students, (iv) students from (A) China, (B) Macau and (C) Hong Kong in each year since 2009.
Answered by Michelle Donelan - Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data on the finances of higher education providers[1] in the UK.
Income data by source at each UK higher education provider is available in Table 7 of HESA’s ‘Higher Education Provider Data: Finance’ pages for the academic years 2015/16 to 2018/19 at https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/finances/table-7.
More detailed information about income from tuition fees, such as the domicile status (UK, EU and non-EU) and the level of study it relates to, can be found in Table 6:
https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/finances/table-6.
Data prior to 2015/16 can be accessed through HESA’s publications archive at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/publications.
The drop-down ‘Finances of Higher Education Providers’ shows the list of historical publications going back to the academic year 1994/95. Largely equivalent information can be found in Tables 2 to 5 of each publication year.
The financial information available from HESA is not collected for specific countries of origin. An indication of the relative importance to each provider of students from China, Macau and Hong Kong over the past 5 years is available in Table 28 of HESA’s ‘Higher Education Student Data’ pages: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-28.
[1] Since 2018/19, this includes both higher education (HEIs) and alternative providers (APs).

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data on students enrolled in higher education.
Counts of student enrolments at each UK higher education institution (HEI) are available by level of study and region of domicile (UK, EU, non-EU) for the academic years 2014/15 to 2018/19 in Table 1 of HESA’s Higher Education Student Data pages: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-1.
In addition, data is available by level of study and individual countries of domicile for the academic years 2014/15 to 2018/19 in Table 28 of HESA’s Student Data pages: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-28.
Student enrolment data prior to 2014/15 can be accessed through HESA’s publications archive at https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/publications. The drop-down “Students in Higher Education” shows the list of historic publications going back to the academic year 1994/95. Equivalent information exists for Table 1 of each publication year.
