Summary comparison of HESES and HESES re-creation

The table below summarises our re-creation of the Higher Education Students Early Statistics Survey (HESES) (the HESES10 re-creation) which we carry out for monitoring purposes. This information is aimed at those at universities responsible for making student data returns.

This page is a replication of the 'Summary' table provided in the HESES11 re-creation workbook, which is part of the HESES11 re-creation, and is provided as a systematic guide to troubleshooting discrepancies in data. Note that institution-specific workbooks will contain figures for comparison in each row.
