HEFCW data collection
The statistics team collects data from HE institutions and FE colleges in Wales through a number of data surveys:
- the higher education students early statistics (HESES) survey
- the end of year monitoring (EYM) of higher education enrolments survey
- the research activity survey (RAS)
- the forecasts and reaching higher target requests circular
- the redistribution exercise
The data surveys are sent to nominated data contacts within the institution and are also available below.
The HESES survey collects aggregated student data to enable us to make allocations of funds for teaching and have early indications of student numbers for the relevant academic year.
The EYM survey collects aggregated student data to enable us to calculate adjustment of funding where institutions have not recruited up to their funded numbers and to establish final numbers for the academic year.
The RAS survey collects information on research students to be used in the calculation of funds for research.
This circular requests HE institutions to submit student and staff number forecasts
This Circular sets out the arrangements by which higher education institutions and directly funded further education colleges may redistribute funded credit values. Institutions are invited to propose the redistributions of funded credit values that they wish to make.
Redistribution Exercise 2009/10
