ISO Educational Statistics: # of history students/faculty

May 9, 2013 8:42 PM

Looking for statistical information on how many students study history at the B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. level in various non-US countries.

The US data is pretty easy to find (here), but I'm having a really hard time finding non-US data. Ideally I'd like to find European, Asian, Australian, and Latin American figures as well. I'm not that picky about how the areas are broken down (that is to say, it can be EU-wide, continent-wide, or country-wide)

Eurostat has a data explorer that you can generate customized views with. Here's the explorer for the topic "Tertiary students (ISCED 5-6) by field of education and sex". Here's a brief overview of Eurostat's tertiary ed stats.

The UN also collects and distributes this information. Here's their page for "Tertiary education (ISCED 5 and 6) Enrolment by FOS % Humanities and Arts".

These don't seem to be as granular field-wise and degree-wise as you'd like, but they're pretty good sources.
