It is not surprising to see that doctorates have a higher proportion of mature students than master
programs and master programs have a higher proportion than bachelor programs. It is furthermore
not surprising to see that the proportion of mature students increases if a wider defi nition is used.
The graphs show that there are substantial differences between responding higher education
institutions in the proportion of mature students enrolled.
Indicator 5a: Annual number of peer reviewed publications relative to
the total number of academic staff
The number of academic staff reported may include in some HE-systems doctoral ‘students’. In
those systems doctoral students are not considered to be students but are seen and reported as
academic staff (research trainees). This proved to be the case for one third of the responding higher
education institutions. To correct for this systemic infl uence the number of academic staff used to
calculate the indicator excludes the number of doctoral students.
