This dataset shows the location of Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) institutes in the Great Britain. This should cover Universities and Colleges. Many institutes have more than one campus and where possible this is refelcted in the data so a University may have more than one entry. Postcodes have also been included for instities where possible. This data was collected from various sources connected with HEFE in the UK including JISC and EDINA. This represents the fullest list that the author could compile from various sources. If you spot a missing institution, please contact the author and they will add it to the dataset. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2011-02-01 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-21.

This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across different languages and contexts.

Estimates of suicides among higher education students by sex, age and ethnicity. Based on mortality records linked to Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) student records, Experimental Statistics.

The information refers to NI domiciled students gaining higher education qualifications from UK higher education institutions. The dataset is collected annually and is based on students obtaining a qualification at UK higher education institutions. The dataset is collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency from higher education institutions throughout the UK and provided to the Department for Employment and Learning, Northern Ireland, for analysis. For 2013/14, NI Domiciled enrolments and qualifications at Open University are available. In previous years, these figures were included in NI students studying in England, as the administrative centre of the Open University is located in England.

This is the dataset derived from the sistematic review describes at https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=330361

We have previously found that the psychoeducational 'Science of Happiness' course has a beneficial effect on participant well-being (Hood et al, 2021; Hobbs et al, 2022). In this study, we examine whether these benefits are sustained 1-2 years post course.

The information refers to NI domiciled students enrolled at higher education institutions in the UK. The dataset is collected annually and is based on enrolments in higher education institutions in the UK on 1st December each year. The dataset is collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency from higher education institutions throughout the UK and provided to the Department for Employment and Learning, Northern Ireland, for analysis. For 2013/14, NI Domiciled enrolments and qualifications at Open University are available. In previous years, these figures were included in NI students studying in England, as the administrative centre of the Open University is located in England. The specification of the HESA Standard Registration Population has changed for 2007/08 enrolments onwards. Writing up and sabbatical students are now excluded from this population where they were previously included in published enrolment data and therefore 2007/08 data onwards cannot be directly compared to previous years.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify schoolchildren and full-time students aged 5 years and over in England and Wales by student accommodation and by age. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Estimates for single year of age between ages 90 and 100+ are less reliable than other ages. Estimation and adjustment at these ages was based on the age range 90+ rather than five-year age bands. Read more about this quality notice.

Area type

Census 2021 statistics are published for a number of different geographies. These can be large, for example the whole of England, or small, for example an output area (OA), the lowest level of geography for which statistics are produced.

For higher levels of geography, more detailed statistics can be produced. When a lower level of geography is used, such as output areas (which have a minimum of 100 persons), the statistics produced have less detail. This is to protect the confidentiality of people and ensure that individuals or their characteristics cannot be identified.

Coverage

Census 2021 statistics are published for the whole of England and Wales. Data are also available in these geographic types:

• country - for example, Wales
• region - for example, London
• local authority - for example, Cornwall
• health area – for example, Clinical Commissioning Group
• statistical area - for example, MSOA or LSOA

Student accommodation type

Combines the living situation of students and school children in full-time education, whether they are living:

• alone
• in a student household
• with parents
• in a communal establishment, split by university and other communal establishment type
• in other household types

It also includes whether these households contain one or multiple families.

This variable is comparable with the student accommodation variable but splits the communal establishment type into “university” and “other” categories.

Age

A person’s age on Census Day, 21 March 2021 in England and Wales. Infants aged under 1 year are classified as 0 years of age.

Next Steps (also known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE1)) is a major longitudinal cohort study following a nationally representative group of around 16,000 who were in Year 9 attending state and independent schools in England in 2004, a cohort born in 1989-90.

The first seven sweeps of the study were conducted annually (2004-2010) when the study was funded and managed by the Department for Education (DfE). The study mainly focused on the educational and early labour market experiences of young people.

In 2015 Next Steps was restarted, under the management of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) at the UCL Faculty of Education and Society (IOE) and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The Next Steps Age 25 survey was aimed at increasing the understanding of the lives of young adults growing up today and the transitions out of education and into early adult life.

The Next Steps Age 32 Survey took place between April 2022 and September 2023 and is the ninth sweep of the study. The Age 32 Survey aimed to provide data for research and policy on the lives of this generation of adults in their early 30s. This sweep also collected information on many wider aspects of cohort members' lives including health and wellbeing, politics and social participation, identity and attitudes as well as capturing personality, resilience, working memory and financial literacy.

Next Steps survey data is also linked to the National Pupil Database (NPD), the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), the Individualised Learner Records (ILR) and the Student Loans Company (SLC).

There are now two separate studies that began under the LSYPE programme. The second study, Our Future (LSYPE2) (available at the UK Data Service under GN 2000110), began in 2013 and will track a sample of over 13,000 young people annually from ages 13/14 through to age 20.

Further information about Next Steps may be found on the CLS website.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for distance travelled to place of study of people aged 4 and over studying by age (in 4 categories) in Scotland.

Age

A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022. Infants aged under 1 year are classified as 0 years of age.

Distance travelled to work or place of study

The distance between a person’s home address and their main place of work or study (Grouped).

Address of place of work or study is used (along with home address) to explore the relationship between where people live and where they work or study. Used in conjunction with information from the method of travel question, the data helps to identify commuter patterns and routes and provide a reliable indicator for the demands placed on public and private transport.

It is used to inform the balance of housing and jobs in particular areas and assess the need for services such as new schools. Information on where people live and work is used by government departments to define “Travel to Work Areas” - these are approximations of self-contained labour markets and are the smallest areas for which unemployment rates are published. Collecting information on both work and study address enables a more accurate count of daytime populations to be obtained, which is particularly useful for areas accommodating universities and businesses. It also allows the differences in travel patterns between these groups to be compared.

The excel sheet contains the data set related to a post-arrival survey that was completed by first year sport, exercise and rehabilitation students in Feb 2025 and the dataset provides a comparison to the pre-arrival survey results of the survey distributed in september 2024.

This dataset is based upon the literature review published in the paper

Rienties, B., Ferguson, R., Gonda, D., Hajdin, G., Herodotou, C., Iniesto, F., Llorens-Garcia, A., Muccini, H., Sargent, J., Virkus, S., Vittoria Isidori, M. (2024). Education 4.0 in higher education and Computer Science: a systematic review. Computer Applications in Engineering Education.

Education 4.0 is a recently introduced concept focused on innovation, novelty, use of technology, and connections with employment and industry. In particular in engineering disciplines like computer science (CS) it is essential that educators keep up to date with industry developments. Indeed, how CS educators effectively design and implement innovative teaching and learning deserves more systematic attention. This study aims to catalogue and synthesise learning design approaches to teaching and learning within CS: 1) Which innovative pedagogic approaches are used in teaching of CS? 2) Which approaches align with Education 4.0? 3) What skills and competences do educators require to align CS teaching with Education 4.0? Our systematic literature review included CS papers published between 2016 and 2020. 231 studies were identified of which 66 were included in the final phase, which were coded by a multidisciplinary team. The findings indicated that many CS educators included Education 4.0 learning design elements. We found a clear distinctive three-cluster solution: 1) EDU4 light, 2) Project-based/hands-on learning, and 3) Full EDU4. These findings suggest three broad flavours when designing innovative CS practice, which might help educators to align their practice.

The dataset contains three worksheets -Main worksheet with all the used codes -Variables and their labels -Syntax for SPSS to run the dataset (if needed)

The nature of designing as well as the professional characteristics of many designers leave them vulnerable to the delay of tasks and decisions also known as procrastination. Procrastination is not discussed in design literature. Procrastination is defined as the voluntary delay or inability to complete a task or make a decision. It is often linked to the individual being overwhelmed. The dataset submitted was from a questionnaire that asked about the frequency and form of procrastination; and, influences on their behaviour when trying to undertake stages of a design process was completed by 155 design students and staff within a UK design and creative arts school. The stages included: literature review, ideation, prototyping, and report writing. The outcomes suggested chronic procrastination related to all stages of a design process, with a frequency of more than once a week. Additional questions highlighted multiple tasks were likely to overwhelm the respondents, whilst distractions such as new projects were likely to result in completing alternative tasks. An additional open question provided qualifying comments suggesting procrastination wasn’t explicitly addressed in academic design training. Two key activities to reduce the effects of procrastination were suggested: 1) prioritise tasks; and 2) reduce complexity of each task. Additional advice included: development of professional self-confidence, realistic goal planning, minimising external stimulus, controlling workflows, working in study groups, developing virtuous routines at optimal times during the day, the management of reward and consequence; and use of technology to optimise self-regulation.
