  • Freedom of Information Requests

    Provision, on a regular basis, of a wide range of information in line with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

  • HESA Statutory Returns

    Production of the Student, Aggregate Offshore and Institution Profile Returns.

  • Management Information

    Providing reports and data to other Departments within the University, such as Athena Swan, Widening Participation, and Equality.

  • Programme Structures

  • Student Load

    The Student Load forms a key element of the University's statutory returns which determine the University's teaching block grant.  It is also used internally to drive the allocation of block grant and fees in the University management accounts: and to advise and assist with the general planning and budget allocation processes.
