2016/17

For the academic years 2016/17 – 2021/22 some inconsistencies are apparent among non-English HE providers in the total staff costs displayed in Table 12 of the open data when comparing against staff costs reported in Table 1. These discrepancies relate to differences in the way that HE providers have reported staff costs in both tables – in some cases excluding non-academic staff costs, and in some cases including pension adjusted costs. Staff costs in Table 1 are validated against providers’ published accounts.

For the years 2012/13 to 2018/19 Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine stated Total scope 1 and 2 emission baseline for 2005 as 83,228,000.000. This field was returned in kilograms CO2e instead of in tonnes CO2e.The figure should have been 83,228.000 tonnes CO2e.

In 2016/17, UK College of Business and Computing had a significant increase in qualifiers from designated HND courses, from 265 in 2015/16 to 1,015 in 2016/17. This was due to a series of successful events aimed at encouraging HND students to complete their qualification. These events were marketed at students who began a course in earlier years but had not achieved a qualification during the usual timeframe of the course. As such, HND qualifiers in 2016/17 included cohorts of students who enrolled in past years back to 2012/13.

3a Loss of office at the provider

• i Total amount of compensation paid across the whole provider - £778k

Plymouth College of Art submitted incorrect figures for 4 waste fields in the Estates management return in 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 due to their waste provider supplying them grossly incorrect estimated figures based on overall lorry capacity, rather than kg per bin. Revised estimated figures based on average kg per bin have been supplied to replace this data as per the table below.

In 2016/17, Edge Hill University reported the total waste mass figure (EWMT) in Kg and not metric tonnes, therefore the figure should read 523.286 not 523,286.00 as recorded. EMWRCT and EWMENT should also have been recorded in metric tonnes and not Kg.

In 2016/17, Manchester Metropolitan University incorrectly reported some figures within the Finance record Table 6, sections 1 and 2. The correct figures are as follows:

• 1 HE Course fees
  • 1a Home domiciled students
    • 1ai Full-time undergraduate - Source of fees Other = £5,292K
  • 2 Non-credit bearing course fees - Total £2,543K
