The data published today relates to higher education providers in England whose financial year-end dates fell between 1 August 2022 and 31 December 2022. These are non-traditional higher education providers with many specialising in a small number of subjects.
These 59 providers had a total income of £1.05 billion in 2022/23 with the majority (39) reporting incomes of less than £10 million. 74% of their combined income came from tuition fees but this proportion varied from 0% to 100% for individual providers.
The total expenditure of the 59 providers was £997 million with just over half of the providers (31) reporting a surplus1 for the year.
2022/23 finance data for the majority of HE providers with year-end dates from 1 January 2023 to 31 July 2023, including HE providers in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, will be published in spring 2024.
