Question
To ask the Scottish Government what percentage of medical students in each of the last five years was Scotland-domiciled.
Answer
Not all of the information being requested is held at present by the Scottish Government. The Scottish Funding Council has however provided HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) data showing what percentage of all students studying medicine at Scottish medical schools, across all years of studies, were Scottish domiciled. This data is limited up to and including academic year 2019-20.
Academic Year | Scottish Domiciled Students (%) |
2015-16 | 52.6 |
2016-17 | 53.4 |
2017-18 | 53.7 |
2018-19 | 54.3 |
2019-20 | 54.5 |
