The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) was the official agency for the collection, analysis and dissemination of quantitative information about higher education in the United Kingdom. HESA became a directorate of Jisc after a merger in 2022.
HESA was set up by agreement between the relevant government departments, the higher education funding councils and the universities and colleges in 1993, following the White Paper "Higher Education: a new framework", which called for more coherence in HE statistics, and the 1992 Higher and Further Education Acts, which established an integrated higher education system throughout the United Kingdom. In 2018 HESA became the Designated Data Body for higher education in England under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, with designation passing to Jisc after the 2022 merger.
HESA collected data from all publicly funded higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK as well as a small number of private providers. The annual data collection streams were:
Student data collection – information about students, courses and qualifications at HEIs
AP Student data collection – information about students, courses and qualifications at Alternative Providers of higher education
Staff data collection – information about staff employed by HEIs
Finance record – income and expenditure of HEIs
Graduate Outcomes – survey of graduate activities 15 months after leaving higher education
Aggregate offshore record – count of students studying wholly overseas for UK HE qualifications
HE Business and Community Interaction survey – information about interactions between HEIs and business and the wider community
Estates management record – buildings, estates and environmental information about HEIs
HESA published statistics and analyses based on the data it collects:
Statistical Bulletins – Official Statistics outputs summarising each data stream
Annual open data releases – detailed statistical tables
Performance Indicators – comparative data on the performance of HEIs in Widening participation, student retention, learning and teaching outcomes, research output and employment of graduates
