These data provide information on students enrolled at Higher Education Institutions in Wales and Welsh domiciled students at UK Higher Education Institutions.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collect data on students, staff and resources of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK. The data presented in this bulletin is taken from HESA's Student Record which contains information on all students enrolled on credit bearing courses at UK HEIs. Further information about HESA and their data collections can be found on their website www.hesa.ac.uk

The Student Record contains information about individual enrolments, which, because a student can be enrolled on more than one programme of study, will exceed the number of students. Previous analysis has shown that for Welsh HEIs full-time enrolments are less than 1 per cent higher than full-time student numbers; part-time enrolments are less than 2 per cent higher than part-time student numbers.

This table is based on the HESA standard registration population is a count of all enrolments within the reporting year 1 August to 31 July. Students who leave within 2 weeks of their start date, or anniversary of their start date, and are on a course of more than two weeks duration, are not included in the standard registration population. Dormant students, incoming visiting and exchange students from overseas and students studying for the whole of their programme of study outside of the UK are also excluded from this population. Prior to 2000/01 the standard population was based on enrolments as at 1 December each year.

Postdoctoral students are not included in the HESA Student Record.

Coverage

The HESA standard registration population is a count of all enrolments within the reporting year 1 August to 31 July. Students who leave within 2 weeks of their start date, or anniversary of their start date, and are on a course of more than two weeks duration, are not included in the standard registration population. Dormant students, incoming visiting and exchange students from overseas and students studying for the whole of their programme of study outside of the UK are also excluded from this population. Prior to 2000/01 the standard population was based on enrolments as at 1 December each year. In this bulletin the December population is used to present a time series back to 1994.

The HESA qualifications obtained population is a count of student enrolments associated with the award of an HE qualification (excluding HE institutional credits) during the reporting year. For the qualifications obtained table awards from dormant status and those writing-up theses are classified to their previous mode of study, i.e. full-time or part-time.

Rounding strategy

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:
· 0,1,2 are rounded to 0 and represented by *
· All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.

Also in this table figures are excluded for countries with less than 50 students in total at Welsh HEIs in the given year. Figures for this countries are denoted by -.

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.
