Methodolgy & Sources |
|
|
|
|
|
The following organizations are responsible for international student data collection in Sweden:
National Agency for Higher Education (through Statistics Sweden)
Migration Board
EU-Commission (Erasmus)
The National Agency for Higher Education, under the direction of the Ministry of Education is the main governmental entity responsible for setting policies relating to international student data collection in Sweden. Data sources include an annual report/database from the National Agency for Higher Education; files from the Migration Board; and published statistics from the EU-Commission. All data are collected on an annual basis.
The definition of an international student varies by source between citizenship and origin. Data variables are collected on: academic degree and non-degree granting programs; and other types of program (e.g., vocational, academia, learning, secondary, etc.). The primary users of this data are government policymakers and academia. These data are disseminated via various published reports and files. Some of the biggest challenges in the collection and dissemination of international student data include: making it possible for institutions to register students by citizenship (which is not allowed in Sweden) without violating integrity; comparing different sources; and varying definitions of foreign student categories, guest students, exchange students, undergraduate, master's, postgraduate levels, etc.
