HESA Subscription

The HESA subscription is based on a flat rate institutional fee, plus a variable student per capita fee, dependent on the extent of data being collected and the services being provided by HESA. The subscription is usually invoiced in August for the period 1 August - 31 July.

Unistats subscribers will normally complete the following HESA data returns:

• Institution Profile (Table A)
