Higher education; first- and senior-year students, field of study, origin

Description

This table shows the number of first- and senior-year students at government-funded higher education institutions by type of education, field of study, country of origin and country of birth (parents). CBS is moving to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where someone's parents were born. The word "migration background" is no longer used. The main classification Western/non-Western is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. From academic year 2015/'16 onwards, this table also contains the number of students enrolled at some designated institutions: the theological universities and the University of Humanistic Studies. From the academic year 2016/'17, the Transnational University Limburg has also been included. This table uses the ISCED-F2013 classification. This table shows the distribution of students per year between the different fields of study. Due to clustering and splitting of studies from year to year, this table is less suitable for comparing fields of study over the years. Data available from: academic year 2011/'12 Status of figures: The figures for the academic years up to and including 2022/'23 are final and the figures for the academic year 2023/'24 are provisional. Changes as of 29 March 2024: The final figures for the academic year 2022/'23 have been added. When will the new figures come? In the first quarter of 2025, the provisional figures for the academic year 2024/'25 will be available.
