Executive summary
Purpose
1. This document gives details of higher education students who are registered at one institution but taught at another. All such sub-contractual partnerships between institutions are referred to here as collaborations. Information is derived mainly from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data collections.
Key points
2. Since November 2000 we have published tables each year of the numbers of students at registering and teaching institutions (HEFCE 00/55, 01/71 and 2002/51). This year we have included a description of the characteristics of collaboratively taught students.
3. Thanks to the efforts of institutions and to our comparison of different data sets, the data quality is improving. However, the data should still be treated with caution because of the diversity of collaborative arrangements and the different interpretations of the guidance on completing the data returns.
Action required
4. No action is required; this report is for information.
