Yorkshire and the Humber
Introduction Yorkshire and the Humber cover an area of over 15,400 km2. Eighty per cent of the region’s land is rural, and 20 per cent of the population of around 5 million live in rural areas. The population density of the region is around 320 people per km2. Leeds is the largest city in the region, with a population of over 700,000. Other significant cities include Sheffield, Bradford, York and Hull.
Economic development The economic output of Yorkshire and the Humber is over £57 billion, 7.5 per cent of the total UK GDP. The sub-regions vary, with South Yorkshire producing around three-quarters of the UK average GDP per head. The most economically successful part of the region is North Yorkshire. Most industrial sectors have been growing in line with the average for the UK, with the exception of mining and quarrying, which have been in decline. Unemployment in the region is 5.1 per cent compared with an average of 5.7 per cent for the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is just under £1,200 million per year.

In addition 34 further education colleges teach higher education courses. The higher education student population is around 149,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students. The institutions range in size from University of Leeds (26,000 student FTEs) to the Northern School of Contemporary Dance with just 160 student FTEs. They also have a range of missions and include specialist colleges and civic universities. The largest concentration of higher education is in Leeds, with two universities, two higher education colleges and six further education colleges teaching HE courses. Yorkshire Universities (YU) was one of the earliest HE consortia to be established in the UK.
