Data intelligence

In 2017/18, University of Bedfordshire misreported 265 students domiciled from India as being domiciled from Nicaragua. University of Bedfordshire had no students domiciled from Nicaragua in 2017/18.

Cardiff Metropolitan University incorrectly omitted some entry qualifications for first year first degree students in 2017/18. These were new qualifications. Of those omitted, 94% were Reformed A Levels. Also excluded were a collection of Level 3 Diplomas and Certificates. This has resulted in errors to tariff scores for these students.

In 2017/18, The University of Law saw a significant increase in its other undergraduate student numbers on designated courses with course aim (H60) Graduate diploma/certificate at level H (an increase of 1480 FPE). This increase is due to coverage changes of the Alternative Provider Student record. In previous years, students on a graduate Law conversion course with this course aim were excluded from HESA data as they were considered to be on a postgraduate course for coverage purposes.

In 2017/18, student data was expected from EThames Graduate School Limited, Grafton College and London College of Creative Media Limited. However students at these providers are not included in the 2017/18 AP student record.
