A new higher education league table

Recently, someone asked me which HEPI reports had been most widely read. There is no perfect way to measure this because we send out the same number of hard copies of each report and it is up to the recipients to decide whether to read them or not. It is also doubtful whether the number of readers is a useful guide to the actual impact of different reports.

But, here goes: based on our website data, these are our most widely-read reports. We make no allowance for the fact that some reports have been on our website much longer than others – boosting the chances of older reports coming near the top – and we make no claim that the list reflects the relative importance of the different topics:

  1. 2015 HEPI-HEA Student Academic Experience Survey (June 2015)
  2. Keeping up with the Germans: What can Germany teach the UK on fees, migration and research? (September 2015)
  3. Boys to Men: The underachievement of young men in higher education – and how to start tackling it (May 2016)
