Higher
Education Statistics Agency |

Started in 1993 after a government
white paper called for more coherence in
the reporting and collection of higher
education statistics in the United
Kingdom, the Higher Education Statistics
Agency (HESA) is "the central
source for higher education
statistics." Not surprisingly, the
site features a detailed area devoted to
publications and data sets available
from the HESA, some of which are
available for no cost on the Web site,
and others which may be ordered on
CD-ROM. There are also a number of data
sets available at no charge that may be
viewed and printed, or downloaded for
free. The data sets are mostly from 1994
to 2002, and include statistics on
students (such as ethnicity, subject of
study, and institution level), staff,
and institutional incomes and
expenditures. The site is rounded out
with a collection of related links that
lead to related government bodies and
funding councils. |
