The forecasted data for the number of doctoral or equivalent level students involved in study periods or combined with work placements shows a consistent annual value of 2 from 2024 to 2028. As we are in 2024, the year-on-year variation is non-existent, given the stable forecasted figures. The data for past years is not provided, thus not allowing for a year-on-year percentage variation or a calculation of a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).

Future trends to watch for:

Stability in doctoral student enrollment could suggest maturity in the market.
Potential changes in educational funding or policy could impact future enrollment figures.
Watch for innovations in doctoral programs that integrate work placements.
