A series of presentations and webinars for staff at higher education providers who will be completing the Higher Education Students Early Statistics (HESES) data return in 2023, aimed at those who are new to HESES and those wanting to refresh their knowledge.
Who should attend?
HESES webinars are open to all providers (including further education and sixth form colleges and academies) that are registered or have applied to be registered with the OfS in the Approved (fee cap) category. These providers will be required to return the HESES23 data return in November and December 2023.
The webinars and recordings in this series are for people who will be completing HESES for the first time, or those who need a back-to-basics introduction.
If you are already experienced with the HESES data return, you may prefer to attend our ‘HESES23: essential updates for experienced staff’ webinar.
You do not need previous knowledge of the HESES return, but we recommend that you know about the types of higher education courses at your provider (for example, how and when they are delivered), as well as your provider's data collection systems.

There were two pre-recorded presentations and two online live events. Videos of all four webinars will be available to watch throughout the HESES23 return period.
