My company has been developing a revolutionary product for teaching economics for the last five years, together with Edinburgh and Cambridge University staff. It is currently being trialled with 800 BA(Honours), MBA and MSc students as part of their degree courses.It turns the subject into a movie using Excel and many thousands of lines of Visual Basic code, and is hugely popular with the students. We are preparing a business plan, and want to cross check the total potential market size, initially of the UK and US markets, later on of "the world" since the product is electronic and will be downloaded over the Internet. We need, in an Excel spreadsheet, the total numbers of students studying economics in the UK and the US, broken down into a matrix of the various leading courses - ie from high school up to University degree course level, including university honours economics 1st and 2nd year, MBA's, MSc's, Diplomas in Business Studies etc. The matrix would have these course descriptions across the top, and the groups of institutions down the side This question only addresses "the total market size" and not our possible share of it. We also require the "answer" Excel spreadsheet to be backed up with full references to the specific source data, (Directories, web sites etc). Therefore, if one of the rows in the Excel spreadsheet for example says "622 Universities -> 35,000 1st year Hons Economics", --> 22,000 2nd year Hons (the figures are fictitious), we then need to know how the figures 35,000 and 22,000 were arrived at. Thank you, in anticipation. If the answers seems satisfactory, we would then like to repeat the Exercise (as a separate search) for "the rest of the world" - within reason, and for discussion (ie China is of interest but necessarily French Polynesia.) We can be contacted by e-mail by the Google researcher | |

Humbert, If you run out of options for obtaining, what I figure to be, very fragmented data, you can look at this wonderful website (by the Bureau of Educational Affairs) that includes a huge database with the information you want. It includes undergrad, grad, MBA, executive programs, etc. Unfortunately, it is powered by search engine that does not allow one to get the information in the structure you want it. However, it is in there and it will take you time to search and cut and paste. http://www.petersons.com/educationusa/ This also apparently has programs for outside of the US, although I don't know how valid it is. I tested the US information for validity, as I have attended of few large educational institutions myself; and it seems to be accurate. --and on the subject of MBAs, one of my specialties, there are over 900 universities that offer such program in the US, so the breakdown you want is no easy feat. Much luck, claudietta --only a google researcher. |
