Student Numbers

These are 1st December numbers in the relevant academic year (from 2005/6 to 2014/5) and represent fully registered students at this date.

 

Notes

Scope and use of data: We provide here a set of data which unless otherwise noted is displayed as student FTE, broken down by level of study (UG, PGT or PGR), Route (programme of study), Year of study and Home/EU/Overseas (defined by fee status). You can select using the Mode of study dropdown whether you display full-time students, part-time students or visitors (please see note on visitor exclusions below).

...

Source of data: These data are derived from Planning Office snapshots of the SITS Student Record System on 1st December each year, access through SITS_STUDENT_VIEW in Data Warehouse.


Historic changes to the Source Data 

201415 changes: We have added Route Type which allows for identifying or filtering of students who are visiting students, distance learners etc. Also added Domicile Flag filter to the Overview, FTE and Headcount tabs which allows filtering on students with a UK/non-UK domicile

...

200910 changes: From 2009/10 onwards we have changed the splitting methodology for joint UG programmes to reflect the SITS setup and not quota rules. This will influence only major:minor programmes, which will now be split 67% / 33% rather than 100% / 0%. This will also influence Biochemistry numbers, which will now be split between Biology and Chemistry in a 67% / 33% manner. Foundation Year students at York College are now included, as they are franchised by us and are counted in our student statistics and statutory processes.

 

Characteristics: 

Socio-Economic Class: SEC 4-7 contains routine, manual and unskilled occupations; SEC Other contains managerial, technical, professional and non-manual skilled occupations.

...

Low Participation: LowParticipation contains students whose neighbourhood appears in the first quintile of the 'young people participation in higher education' dataset.

 

Common filters:

This workbook contains a series of worksheets which have common filters.

...

  • Department: All, list of departments. Individual or multiple departments can be selected; this should be used in conjunction with the Subject Area filter to avoid empty sheets (e.g. selecting Sciences with a non-science subject)
  • Mode Of Study: All, Full Time, Part Time, or Visiting. The default settings are to include Full Time and Part Time as this will correspond to statistics published by the Planning Office.
  • Route Type: All, Abroad, Clinical, Distance, Industry, PGPlac, Shadow, Visiting, YorkIN.
  • New Entrant: All, No, Yes. To only view new entrants in the given academic year, set this to Yes; to view only continuing students, set this to No; to view all students, set this to All
  • Domicile Flag: All, International, UK.
  • Fee Status (formerly known as HomOvs): All, E, H, O.  NB this field was renamed as Fee Status to avoid confusion with Domicile/Domicile Flag.  For example, not all students with Domicile Flag: UK will have 'H' fee status.
  • Student Mix: A combination of Fee Status and Level of Study.


Worksheet-specific filters:

This workbook also displays some additional filters, where relevant to the worksheet that is being displayed.  

...

On some sheets, hovering over the Department headings on the left hand side will display a plus sign - clicking this allows the view to expand (and contract) into level of study, programme, target qualification.
