Higher Education Statistics Agency
Please choose a dataset for more detailed information:
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) was established following the 1992 Higher and Further Education Acts. It is responsible for the collection, analysis and dissemination of quantitative information about higher education in the United Kingdom.
HESA provides four main administrative datasets. These cover the students, staff and financial aspects of Higher Education institutions, and also the activities of students after they have gained a Higher Education qualification. The latter is split into two stages. The initial data collection is taken three to four months after student graduation and a follow up study is conducted three years later.
A number of other data streams are also gathered by HESA, including data on students studying outside the UK, teachers in training, and information on HE campuses.
The ADLS will add new information to the HESA section over time. Please keep checking back and you may also wish to receive notification of these updates by registering with us.
