 | Higher Education |
Higher education qualifications are recognised formal qualifications at the Bachelor degree level and above. These include qualifications obtained at universities and other institutions.
A higher education student is a person who has been admitted to a higher education institution and who is enrolled (either full time, part time or externally) in a higher education award course, an enabling course or a non-award course to be undertaken in the semester used as the reference period. (Reference: Department of Education, Science and Training, Students: Selected Higher Education Statistics 2002.)
The Australian Bureau of Statistics conducts a number of surveys that collect data on higher education while the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE) is the custodian of administrative data.
