HEFCE closed at the end of March 2018. The information on this website is historical and is no longer maintained.
Many of HEFCE's functions will be continued by the Office for Students, the new regulator of higher education in England, and Research England, the new council within UK Research and Innovation.
The HEFCE domain - www.hefce.ac.uk - will continue to function until September 2018. At this point we will close the site entirely and all its information will only be available from the National Web Archive.
In May 2013, HEFCE published a consultation on the future operation of student number control flexibility from 2014-15 onwards, the entry of new publicly-funded providers of higher education into the student number control system, and changes to the high-grades policy to exempt a limited number of combinations of qualification types from the student number control.
These consultation events gave HEFCE an opportunity to explain the consultation proposals in more depth, hear from delegates directly, and offer delegates the opportunity to ask questions.
The following presentations from the events are available to download.
