The statistics on university education contain data on new students, students and attained degrees in university education leading to a degree. The statistics are compiled from individual-based data collected by Statistics Finland from universities.
The data on students concerning 2002 describe the situation on 20 September, whereas those concerning earlier years relate to the situation on 31 December, so the data for 2002 are not fully comparable with those for earlier years. The data on degrees relate to the whole calendar year. In accordance with the Statistics Act, the personal data from which these statistics are compiled are confidential. As a rule, the statistics produced from them are public.
The data in the statistics are classified by Statistics Finland's the Educational Administration's and international classifications of fields and levels of education, classifications describing types of educational institutions, and diverse regional and demographic classifications.
Individual-based data on students and degrees are collected electronically from universities.
The statistics are produced annually.
The data on students and degrees are completed in June of the year following the statistical reference year.
Annual data on numbers of students and degrees by university have been produced since the beginning of the 1950s. Detailed data based on individual-based data files on students and degrees are available starting from the beginning of the 1980s.
