  • Class of first degree - Cambridge tripos (2003/04-)

    The University of Cambridge does not classify its bachelor of arts degree, but awards classes in the Tripos (honours) examination usually taken at the end of each academic year. The class of degree recorded in the HESA record in and after 2003/04 is the result obtained in the student's final year.

    From 2010/11 to 2016/17 the University of Plymouth has had a significant reduction (a drop of 94%, approx. 8400 students) in their franchised student numbers following a change in guidance from HEFCE regarding the reporting of partnership arrangements.

  • Nursing - first degree and diploma of HE (2014/15)

    In 2014/15, several HE providers continued to re-classify their nursing courses from a diploma of HE to a first degree. The 2014/15 data shows a 4.6% rise from 2013/14 in first degree nursing students (83,725 in 2014/15, 80,050 in 2013/14). When looking at full-time first degree nursing students the data shows a 5.6% rise (71,160 in 2014/15, 67,415 in 2013/14). These compare to a 9.1% drop in other undergraduate nursing students (42,295 in 2014/15, 46,545 in 2013/14) and 55.5% for full-time other undergraduate nursing students(3,275 in 2014/15, 7,365 in 2013/14).

  • Part-time postgraduate taught overseas students (2014/15)

    In 2014/15, the University of Warwick moved 1540 part-time postgraduate taught overseas students registered on a Distance Learning MBA programme from the student record to the aggregate offshore record. Such students would have been included in the student record in previous years, and this will now show a large downward shift in the instance numbers within the part-time postgraduate taught population. These students studied by distance learning, are domiciled overseas, and therefore do not fall within the coverage of the student return.
