Creative higher education in Europe : statistics report

The document’s central objective is to look critically at the current data and knowledge in relation to the provision of creative subjects at Higher Education (HE) level1. The report reflects on the important connections between HE and creative economies across Europe. The importance of this relation has been acknowledged both in academic research and at the European policy level. The authors acknowledge that creative economies connect with HE at a range of levels and across many subjects. However, in the report they focus on creative subjects taught at HE level. They examine the current state of knowledge on creative students and graduates across Europe, drawing on European and national level data linked to student access, experience and employability beyond graduation.
