Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many students taking architecture subjects at degree-level were from (a) the UK, (b) non-UK EU countries and (c) non-EU countries in each year since 2010.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes statistics on students studying at UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), including information on subject of study and country of domicile prior to study. The latest statistics refer to the academic year 2016/17 and can be found at the following link: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/news/11-01-2018/sfr247-higher-education-student-statistics.
The table below shows the numbers of full-person-equivalent entrants to first degrees in architecture subjects by domicile by academic year.
| 2010/11 | 2011/12 | 2012/13 | 2013/14 | 2014/15 | 2015/16 | 2016/17 |
UK | 3,850 | 3,970 | 3,455 | 3,525 | 3,685 | 3,660 | 3,915 |
EU | 730 | 705 | 595 | 580 | 515 | 510 | 535 |
Non-EU | 680 | 705 | 855 | 930 | 995 | 1,115 | 1,000 |

Notes:
1) Counts are on the basis of full-person-equivalents. Where a student is studying more than one subject, they are apportioned between the subjects that make up their course.
2) Architecture is defined as principal Joint Academic Coding System (JACS) code K1. More information on JACS codes can be found on the HESA website here: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/documentation/jacs.
3) All figures are rounded to the nearest 5.
