Restructuring costs are not broken down by academic departments and do not apply to research grants and contracts. These costs are reported within Other expenditure and Total expenditure. Interest and other finance costs are not broken down by academic departments and do not apply to research grants and contracts. These costs are reported for premises, residences and catering operations (including conferences) and within Other expenditure and Total expenditure.
Data in table 8 is represented by data returned in the corresponding academic year's collection where available. For this reason, the figures may not always match the corresponding totals in table 1, as table 1 shows prior year data as restated in the audited financial statements.

Data source
HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) are the experts in UK higher education data and analysis. We have been collecting higher education information since the 1994/95 academic year.
Finance data is taken from the HESA Finances record, which universities, colleges and other higher education providers return to HESA on an annual basis. The Finance record collects a range of information about the primary financial statements from HE providers' published accounts.
From 2018/19, data for English HE providers (excluding further education colleges and sixth form colleges under the primary regulation of the Education and Skills Funding Agency) was collected by the Office for Students .
We provide data and analysis on finances of HE providers to a wide variety of customers, including:
- Governments
- Universities (via the Heidi Plus analytics tool)
- Academic and commercial researchers
- Students and potential students
- Trade unions and employers' associations
- Policy makers.
Our data is used to regulate the sector, inform policy making, advance understanding of social and economic trends, support decision making, and enhance public understanding of - and confidence in - the higher education sector.
