The 13 most highly educated places in Britain
The EU's data agency looked at what percentage of the population in each region, county, and municipality in Europe obtained a "tertiary education" - have a degree or higher education equivalent - for the ages 25-64.
What is significant is how many places in Britain claim the top spots so Business Insider decided to take a look at the most highly educated regions across the UK.
The data is quite detailed, drilling down to specific regions. We've followed the Eurostat grouping of regions in the data, with original language names appearing in brackets where applicable.
Eurostat uses NUTS (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) which is "a hierarchical system for dividing up the economic territory of the EU for the purpose of socio-economic analyses of the regions." For this part of the data, Eurostat looked at NUTS 2 regions, which fall under the category of "basic regions for the application of regional policies."
Here's the map to show the detail:
