<p>The department does not hold data on the number of music departments, or on the
establishment or closure of individual distinct music courses offered by higher education
providers (HEPs). However, the department does hold data on the numbers of student
enrolments in music courses more generally, and the number of HEPs offering these
courses. The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), which is now part of JISC,
is responsible for collecting and publishing data about UK higher education (HE).
The latest statistics refer to the 2021/22 academic year.</p><p> </p><p>The data on
HE student enrolments by HEP and subjects of study for the 2014/15 to 2018/19 academic
years is available here: <a href="https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-13"
target="_blank">https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-13</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>The data on HE student enrolments by HEP and subject of study for the 2019/20
to 2021/22 academic years is available here: <a href="https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-49"
target="_blank">https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-49</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>In the 2014/15 academic year, there were 102 HEPs that enrolled 24,620 students
in music courses. In the 2021/22 academic year, this increased to 120 HEPs enrolling
37,090 students in music courses.</p><p> </p><p>Counts are on the basis of full-person-equivalents.
Where a student is studying more than one subject, they are apportioned between the
subjects that make up their course. Figures provided are for UK HEPs enrolments for
all modes and levels of study, and for all domiciles. Figures have been rounded to
the nearest five, in line with HESA rounding conventions. More information on the
figures is available here: <a href="https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/definitions/students%23rounding-and-suppression-strategy"
target="_blank">https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/definitions/students#rounding-and-suppression-strategy</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>The figures from 2019/20 onwards are not directly comparable with previous
years due to the introduction of a new subject classification system, called the Higher
Education Classification of Subjects (HECoS), which replaced the Joint Academic Coding
System (JACS3).</p><p> </p><p>Further information on HECoS and JACS can be found via
the following: <a href="https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/documentation/hecos" target="_blank">https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/documentation/hecos</a>,
