Additional information

Students can be classified as UK region unknown (code XK in XDOMGR01) - so participation rates by nation can potentially be underestimated. Hence this field allocates UK region unknown to each of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, according to a method originally agreed at the Higher Education Management Statistics (HEMS) technical group, where UK region unknown is allocated to the nation where the student's provider is located.

Where the country of domicile of the student is unknown (code NOTK in XDOMGR01), the student is derived to 8 'Not known' in this field.

Officially, the Crown Dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK or the EU. In HESA analyses they are, however, often grouped as UK domicile.
