Data collection to inform funding for 2020-21: Responses to feedback and confirmation of approach

In ‘Data collections to inform funding for 2020-21: Notification of changes’ (OfS 2019.27), we announced, and invited comment on, changes to the collection of data to inform funding for 2020-21, through the 2019 Higher Education Students Early Statistics (HESES19) and Higher Education Students Forecast 2020-21 (HESF20) surveys. We particularly invited comments on changes to how years of instance are assigned to price groups for funding purposes.

This document:

• sets out feedback on the responses we received and
• announces a small number of changes to the guidance on price group assignments that we will make as a result.

The Annex to this document contains updated mappings of subject codes to price groups, reflecting these changes, and supersedes the annex to OfS 2019.27 previously published.
