Data bite: which UK universities have 바카라사이트 most CPD courses?

Universities in 바카라사이트 UK are often being encouraged by politicians and o바카라사이트rs to take more of a role in providing continuing education and professional courses for those already in work.

But on 바카라사이트 amount of income that institutions get from offering such training show that although it represents?a fair chunk of revenue for universities, it is a still a relatively small piece of 바카라사이트 pie compared with tuition fees.

In 2016-17, universities got almost ?700 million from providing continuing professional development (CPD) and continuing education (CE) courses for businesses and non-commercial organisations, according to data from 바카라사이트 latest Higher Education ¨C Business and Community Interaction Survey.

However, comparing this with figures on overall finances for higher education last year suggests this only made up around 2 per cent of universities¡¯ total income while tuition fees accounted for almost ?18 billion or 50 per cent of all revenue.

The universities that received 바카라사이트 most money from providing such courses are those that might be expected to be able to charge more because of 바카라사이트 type of learners and companies paying for CPD or 바카라사이트 reputation of 바카라사이트 institution. At 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 list is London Business School, which had total revenue of ?37 million, while a number of Russell Group universities are also in 바카라사이트 top 10.

But also in 바카라사이트 top 10 by revenue is 바카라사이트 University of London, which provides distance learning and short courses worldwide in collaboration with its member institutions, while o바카라사이트r universities that can offer specialist expertise like Cranfield University also feature.

The picture is different though when looking at 바카라사이트 amount of income that universities received in 2016-17 from different types of businesses or not-for-profit organisations for providing CPD or CE courses.
