Footnotes
- See the About this release section for explanation of differences from other official statistics on apprenticeships and higher education.
- From 2022/23, HESA's definition of a first year or entrant differs from that used previously with a small impact on overall student numbers. Prior to 2022/23, first year students at HEPs were those with a start date between 1 August and 31 July. For 2022/23, entrants are defined as those students with a start date between 18 July 2022 and 17 July 2023. When used in conjunction with the Standard Registration Population, this has a small impact on overall student numbers, but the revision brings it in line with the concept used in the derivation of the Standard Registration Population.
- From 2022/23, students in HEPs who are writing-up at the end of the year are now able to be included in HESA's figures if certain conditions are met. In previous years, students in HEPs who are writing-up were excluded entirely.
- Derived fields relating to highest qualification awarded are based solely on qualification information returned in 2022/23 and do not use legacy HESA data to identify qualifications which have been previously returned. Therefore, some double counting of qualifications is possible.
