Data and Statistics
Introduction
Good quality data and statistics provided in a timely way are essential tools for those working in areas of academic administration including admissions, student recruitment, widening inclusion, marketing and planning in HE provider institutions (HEIs). SPA encourages and supports HEIs in making the most of data available from a variety of sources including UCAS and other external bodies along with their own in-house data, to inform their planning and policies.
SPA has collated information about data from across the sector to provide this comprehensive guide which includes: a detailed summary of the ways in which HEIs use data and statistics for admissions; the particular tools UCAS provides; information about some additional resources for data and statistics usage across the UK.
