Activities and services
Universities and university colleges have three main tasks: teaching, research and dissemination. The number of registered students is an indication of the teaching activity. StatBank Norway also includes figures on self-generated research funding per contracted man-year of associate professorships and research positions.
Outcomes
Completed credit points, degrees and tertiary education at the normal duration of study are presented as outcome indicators for educational institutions. Scientific publication measured by publication points is an indication of the research activity.
StatBank Norway also includes figures on calendar year
Productivity and unit costs
StatBank Norway presents indicators such as operating expenditures and contracted man-years adjusted for long term leaves in teaching, research and dissemination positions in relation to completed units of 60 credit points and achieved publication points. A student has to complete 60 credit points per year in order to complete a course on time.
Educational institutions offer courses that differ in costs, and as a consequence the indicators of operating expenditures used in StatBank Norway differ.
Related indicators
The number of primary applicants per study place is an indication of the academic level of the student population and indirectly affects the outcome indicators. The share of people with tertiary education in the population is an indication of the effects of tertiary education on society.
