This circular gives definitions and guidance to higher education providers relating to the end of year data that are extracted from the 2019/20 HESA student record.
The extraction is performed via the HESA Information Reporting Interface Service (IRIS) and is used to calculate any adjustments to 2019/20 funding, monitor information on initial teacher education and medicine and dentistry courses and establish final numbers of students and credit values at institutions for 2019/20.
