This report provides a summary of the Office for Students’ (OfS’s) analysis of financial data returned by registered higher education providers in England (excluding further education colleges) to the OfS at the end of October 2020 as part of an ‘interim financial data return’.

This report summarises the wellbeing of graduates as reported in the Graduate Outcomes survey, which graduates have responded to 15 months after completing their higher education course.

This annual review sets out our assessment of the current state of English higher education, and reflects on the OfS’s progress to date in implementing a new regulatory approach which places students at its heart.

The impacts of care experience, free school meal eligibility, parental higher education, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, estrangement and household residual income on outcomes in higher education.

How do outcomes differ when accounting for multiple student characteristics?

This letter sets out OfS arrangements and reporting requirements for the monitoring of access and participation plans covering academic year 2019-20.

This report sets out the results of our analysis of changes in the proportion of first and upper second class degrees awarded between 2010-11 and 2018-19. We report on how graduate attainment has changed over this period, and the extent to which these changes can be statistically accounted for by changes in certain characteristics of the graduate population. This analysis has been undertaken at both the sector level and the provider level.

This letter is to notify higher education providers of decisions the OfS has taken, in the light of responses to our recent consultation, on the approach to distributing additional capital funding for 2020-21 and the monitoring of medical and dental intake targets.

The Office for Students is consulting on its approach to regulating quality and standards in higher education. Since 2018, our focus has been on assessing providers seeking registration and we are considering whether and how we should develop our approach now that most providers are registered.
