Go8 Backgrounder 10 - Future demand for Higher Education in Australia

This paper produces  two sets of estimates of future student demand for higher education in  Australia. The two sets of estimates allow us to consider the capacity of the  university sector to accommodate future growth in student numbers (including staff  and facilities), and to identify the costs involved, including for the Government  which has undertaken to fund student demand at the undergraduate level and  postgraduate coursework level for programs leading to a first professional qualification.
