The ‘Introduction to HE data’ seminar is designed to provide colleagues new to data roles with a comprehensive overview and induction to the world of Higher Education data. The seminar will give attendees an understanding of best practice when analysing HE data, and offer ideas for how their learning can be used in practice. Whilst a broad range of data sources will be covered, there will be a particular focus on HESA data and how it can be used to inform decision making across your organisation.
The day will be delivered through a combination of presentations and group tasks/discussion, and will provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss the key issues with colleagues from other providers, and ask questions in an informal setting.
