HESF20 Higher Education Students Forecast 2020-21

This document sets out requirements for the Higher Education Students Forecast survey 2020-21 (HESF20).

It is relevant to higher education providers that:

• have registered (or applied to be registered) with the OfS in the Approved (fee cap) category.
• do not have higher education provision in 2019-20 recognised for OfS funding purposes and are therefore not receiving OfS funding for the 2019-20 academic year
• will offer higher education provision recognised for OfS funding purposes for the first time in 2020-21. This excludes eligible provision that is subcontracted in.

The data collected provides a forecast of higher education students expected to study on courses recognised for OfS funding in 2020-21 and will inform the allocation of teaching funds for 2020-21.
