University student projections predict study cases, students, first semester studies and graduations for the next 20 years and cover all four higher education sectors: public universities, universities of applied sciences (FH), university colleges of teacher education (PH) and the private universities sector (including: theological teaching institutions).
The source of data is the education database; in particular, the data from higher education statistics represents the most important body of data for university student projections. However, population forecasts are also included as a basis for the predictions.
