General description

Last update: 21 September 2023
Next update: July 2024 (Provisional)
Source: Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Staff Record.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collect data on students, staff and resources of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK. Further information about HESA and their data collections, including some online tables, can be found on their website www.hesa.ac.uk


Data collection and calculation

Figures are based on the HESA Staff Record. Data is required for all academic staff, and for non-academic staff if the contract is not atypical. Data also need not be returned for agency staff, self-employed staff, honorary contracts where the contract is not deemed to be a contract of employment and staff not employed by the HEI, but by a company consolidated into the HEI's accounts.
Atypical staff are excluded from the data. Atypical staff are those members of staff whose contracts involve working arrangements that are not permanent, involve complex employment relationships and/or involve work away from the supervision of the normal work provider.

Frequency of publication

Annual

Data reference periods

The HESA staff contract population includes contracts that were active on 1 December within the reporting period.

Rounding applied

The presentation of figures in this table follows the principals of the HESA rounding strategy. The strategy is intended to prevent the disclosure of personal information about any individual. This strategy involves rounding all numbers to the nearest 5. A summary of this strategy is as follows:
• Numbers less than 2.5 are rounded to 0
• All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5

Total figures are also subject to this rounding methodology; the consequence of which is that the sum of numbers in each row or column may not match the total shown precisely.

Statistical quality

Figures are based on the HESA Staff Record. Data is required for all academic staff, and for non-academic staff if the contract is not atypical. Data also need not be returned for agency staff, self-employed staff, honorary contracts where the contract is not deemed to be a contract of employment and staff not employed by the HEI, but by a company consolidated into the HEI's accounts.

More information on the staff record can be found in the section for Staff record definitions on the HESA website: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/definitions/staff

Between 2014/15 and 2015/16 the University of South Wales reported a significant drop in staff numbers. This was due to a combination of normal contractual changes and turnover of employees, limited institutional restructuring, a combination of HR and payroll systems, and a data cleansing exercise.

Revisions on the number of staff teaching in Welsh have been submitted, direct to Welsh Government, by Cardiff and Swansea (academic year 2017/18). Equivalent revisions are yet to be submitted to HESA who are the source of data for this table. Therefore, please note that the figures shown here for the number of staff teaching in Welsh for Cardiff and Swansea are not to be relied upon.

In 2023, an inconsistency was identified between our method for grouping cost centres and HESA’s. Data has been revised back to 2010/11 to align with cost centre groupings used by HESA from 2012/13.
