Indicator 11b: Income from tuition fees
The second indicator of the balance between public and private fi nancial resources is the role
tuition fees play in the total income of a higher education institution. More tuition income means
a more private character. The scores on this indicator are highly infl uenced by national systemic
characteristics, as in a number of European systems tuition fees are not allowed. In many systems,
institutions are not allowed to deviate from nationally set fees, which also limits the variety of
results.
The average income from tuition fees is 15% of total income. 8 higher education institutions report
no income from tuition.
Based on a visual inspection of the graph we may distinguish four classes (none, low, medium a
high).
