The Universities Statistical Record - an introduction (File USRfNTRO wps)

Background

The Utuversmes Staustci] Record (USR) was set up m 1968, under the Joint auapces of theUmvetWy Granta Commmee (UGC) and the Comtntttee of Vice-Chancellors and Prtnc@s (CVCP)ThM Imuattve was prompted by the Robbma Comnuttee on H@er Educatmn which, m 1963, hadh@hghted the lack of adequate stmsttcal mformanon almut higher educauon and w,h]ch stressedthe ]mpntance, for planmng and @wy maktng, of datsmg arrangements to provide comprehenswestatIshcs for tie future The Comnutree had also drawn parhcular attenuon to the need for a systemwhich could produce mfortnatlon on the movement of students and M into, wttbm and out of iughereducabon

In the utuverauy sector at that ttme, data collechon at a nmonal level revolved a series of amualreturns to the UGC These took the form of stmstrcal tables wluch were Iatonous and tlme-

‘. )con.stmung for the umversmes to produce, and wluch were severely hratted aa to the amount of detadand cross analysls they could provtde Aggregated SmhSttcS were compded mamxdly from thesereturns for the UGC’Sown use, and made more Widely avadable otdy through the pubhcauons of theDepartment of Educahon and %ence (DES) Delays m lhe preparation of the data for pubhcatlonoften mean< however, that the mfotmatton was only of Imtoncd interest and therefore hnuted m lLSusduhtess

The UGC, m comtdtabon wth the DES, accordmgl y cormdercd how the collechon of stttdent andstaff Stahshcs could Lx improved whdst keeping fornr-filhng to a nummum, and It was proposed thata new central record system Lx developed m a form suttable for cmhputer analyms The choice of theUmversmes Central Councd on Adnuss]ons (fJCCA) as a Iocahon for the new record was a Ioglcalone for ssvecal reaxms It was a Imdy controlled by the untversmes Uremaelves and m whose UItegntythe umversmes would, therefore, have confidence, N already held some of the mfonrtimon (collectedfor ackmsslona purpmes on the UCCA apphcatton form) needed for compdutg an undergraduaterecord. an~ of course, n had the techmcd resources m accommodate the estabhslunent of acomputerised record system

‘l%e UCCA having agreed to undertake tlus work- the CVCP set up a fmibdlty study With the UGC,the DES, the Scomsh Educahon Deparhnent and the UCCA, and, by 1968, was able to recommend to

)utuversmes that they shotdd co-opine m the eatabhsbnrent of the Umversmes StatlsttcaJ Record onthe understating that safeguards would Lx budt mto the scheme to protect mcbwdual contldentlalmy

Known for m first two years simply as “ID” (atandmg for mdwdualwed data) the Record began wththe collechon of the 1968 undergraduate entrv cohort and gradually e.+mded until mth thenrtmductmt of the Postgraduate and Staff Records m 1970 and the mtegratlon of the Umversty ofLondon rerurns m 1971, n contauted detads of all studetus and academdacadenuc-relmd staff atthose umversmes m Great Bntaut funded by the UGC plus the two unwersmes m Northern IrelandThe processing of first desttnahon data which had prewously been gathered bv unwersltv careersadvtsors for Uteu own use, was taken over by USR m 1972

USR undertook the collection of universih income and expenditure information and stodmrt loadGJCUMOILS(formerly combined in the UGC’S“Form 3“ return); although initially these recordr wereused principally by the WC for planning purposes. they became increasingly used by universitiesthemselves as management information and formed the basis. horn 1987 onwardr of ‘UniversityManagement Statistics and Performance Indicators”,

Data collection

Whilst some of the pmsomd data on undergraduates was obtained via UCCA from the applicationform all other data for new students and staiT was provided annually by universities, together withu-fig information for those afseady on the records, and leaving information for those terminatingtheir studiedsetice. A “smpshot” date of31 December was chosen to sflow for any changes (eg tochoice of COW) which might tafm place during the first term, an that the statistics might mnahly& said to represent the academic year, and to ensure as much consistency as passible betweenuniversities. The university officer responsible for USR rehsms was the %%tmd%cmtary, amember of whose staff was designated the USR Correspondent in each record area. Thus, ~icsffy,USR wcmfd have cnntact in each university with members of statT &rm Registry/student rexmir,Postgraduate Office, PerannneUEstabfisbnsent 0f3ice, Careers Advisory Sesvice, Aduft Edncation

Fuff details of the operahonaf pmmhrcs fnr each of the Records is given in tfre rekvmst volume ofthe reference nmmmls. However, with the exception of the Condnuing Education Itsord [whereeach Y4S rctum is complete in itaeff), they shared many simifar characteristics designed to minimisethe bnrdsn on universities a “muster” of the studentJstaST to be updatsd (an “expected graduatesmuster” in the case of the First Deadnation Recordl an automatic redate prncess whereby theuniversity needed onfy to deaf with non-standard rezorda (eg students repeating a year}, cmnpotervalidation, including rclationsbip checks between certain fiel&, error fistings pinpointing problerqand fixdfnck in the form of surmmuy tables for universities to check At this pnint, if satisfied withthe tablea, the mrrespndent was required to certify - on bebriff of the university - that the fignrescOrwtfy represented the pnsition at the date in question. Until tfmt certification was made, nostatistics wonfd & released in rCSLXCSof that university (with the excepdon of proviaionaf figures tothe WC and ita successor funding councils).

Production of statistics

The production of statistics from the Record began in earnest in 1973, when the tutaf output of 321tabulations was provided to the U(%: some for its own use, others to be paascd on to third parties.progressively, however, as the quality of the data improved (snd as significant time series becameavailable), the output rose to over 3000 tabulation a year. as USR began to supply statistics direct togvvemment departments and agencies, to indmmy, to professional Mea an4 of course, to theuniversities themselves. Usage within bigher education was predonriuantfy for mmragement purposes.including rcscmme allocation and the development of fxrfornrance indicators, and for research. but inat least one in.%itutiom USR statistics ako provided projeet material for undergraduate students.When USR ceased opxatimrs in 1995. a totaf of 32.358 tabofations had been genemted from whichover 47.500 analyses had been suppliwi Of these, nearly 48 pm cent had been requested @universities [including the former PCFC in.rtimticms) or by inter-university bodies.

Access to USR statistics was gnvemed by rules laid down by the USR Policy Group. membcmbip ofwhich comprised fnur Vice-Cbanccllnrs. a Committee member and a senior otliccr of the UGC(submquentfy two oficers of the Funding Council), the Director of Statistics of the DES, andobsmvers from hnth the Association of Univerritv Teachers and the National Union of Students ThePolicy Group war responsible for determining what data might legitimately’ be included in theRecords. and for safeguarding the confidentiality not only of individual students and members of staff.

but also of the umverslhes themselves Broadly spmfang, there were no Imutanons on the provmonof aggregated Stshstics at nahonal level, but mdnndual umvers@ statIshcs nugbl only Ix promdedwth the consent of ~e qsmm.uo.ps mncemed.

Jomtly-nsn cuurses- Where degrm courses are run jointly ~ two or more umversmes, the msmunons were requsred to

reach agreement about the number of studen~ to k retnmed by each, since the USR systems couldnot handke multiple re@raboms and the Unsverwty Grsnts Conumttee would not accept there~atrabon of all students at each umverady Eeause of the problems inherent m double counting

UNDERGRADUATE RECORD

Ethnic Origirx- Ethnic origin ia supplied on a vnhrntary basis by students on their UCCAiUCAS application form,

and was cnllected for the first time in respect of new entrants in 1990. In the psriod 1990-1993, theinformation waa osdy sought from UK dmrricilsxlstudenG.

Parentatoccupatioru- There are three different classification applicable to this fiel~ covering the years 1972-1979,

1980-1992, and 1993. Because of the lemgth of the code lists, these are mntained in a supplementaryfile UGDICPO.WPS.

Type of school:

,)- These codes were cnmpiled uver time frmn the achcmlcode lists of the Dcpbrrent of Education

and Science. The lists contained some snomahes between difFerent years and between the difTeringeducation systems within the UK, and also included types nf establishment (eg nursery achwls whichwere not appropriate. For USR statistical puqmes, the codes were normally grouped as follows:~= codes 05, 41-43; Gmpr&mk = 08, 36, 50, 55, 85 & 86; Independent = 15,16 & 93;SHIM = all other codes.

Entry qualiikatiorw- It is imptasrt to remember the differences between the Scottish achmd leaving examimtiom and

those in the rest of the UK, particularly in analysis which luok at completion rates and/or dcgrr%performance. Compriacma between “Higher” gmdc scores and “A-level” scores are not valid (foracme calculation formulae, see University Statistics Volume 1, Appendix 1, para B7), It should alsobe noted that this pruduces a different age profile of Scottish achoul leavers.

Type of further~lgher education:- Like Type of achucd, these codes were compiled over time from Department of Education and

Science lists which lists contained aume anomalies between different years and Ixtween the MTeringeducation systems within the UK If some types of establishment are unfamiliar, it must beremembered that the terminology may refer to the situation over 20 years ago..

Method of Study:- The defmitiom of fufl-time and part-time undergraduate stodents normally used for USR statistics

(as first qxcifkd by the Universi& Grants Committee) areas follows:Full-time = fidl-time (de 1), sandwich (cude 3), and apmding an cbiigato~ year

away from the university eg language students abroad (cmdc6):pan-time = part-time (code 2).

- A common classification for buth under~aduate and pustgmduats students was introduced in1985 ; onfy cudes applicable tu undergraduates are included in the undergraduate data dictiomwy

Source of finance.kuurce of fees- It was nut clear whether or nut universities were including a student’s maineemnm finding when

using the classitjing “ram of finance”. To avoid confusion a new “source of fws” classification(common to buth undergraduate and poatgraduatt recmds) was intmehmed for 1991 files onwards.

Qualification aimed for/obtainerk- selected medical and vetminmy atu&nta intewdate a year during their course to take a B.SC.

This is rcflectcd in the Recurd by a change in “qualitlcation aimed for” ant where nwemary, ininadtution code, and by the imettion (if appropriate) of an imcrim award of degree.

- When the Undergraduate Record begmI, B.Ed degrees were not incluw aa they were alreadybeing rctumed to the Department of Education and Science (DES).

- Architecture degm% are offered in a variety of diHerent forms at ditTerent universities In mostcaaea, the tint atage is a B.SC (or a BA) in Archit@ure, foUowed by 12 months profesaioual practicein an architect’s office. The second stage (of one or two years’ duration) may b a Diploma, a B.Archdcgme, or an M&. fn the Iatta caaa, most nnivaraitiea claa-si@it as a “second first dagme”,notwithstanding ita title. Other univemities regard it aa a Higher degree and having shown theatudcnts graduating with a first @me, than place them on the Pnatgeaduate Record

- Where studants a- tu be ubtaining a degree after onfy one year’s atten&nce, the usual reaaonis that thq have been pmmatnrely deleted from the record and have bad to be added back on in orderthat their degree may bc recorded

- Francbiac and similar amangcmenta: where atudmda attend the&t year or first two years of adegree court at a fwtk+bigher education coffege aa part of a formal arrangement (whether in the UK01 uvemeaa), they will be shown on the USR Record aa entering the secondhhirdlfourth year of courasaa appropriate. In some cases, huwever, the arrangement may require them tube registered studcmaof the univcraity for the whole of the coumq they would bc entered on the Record from year one, butshow as “not in atten&nce” for the periud spent in the firthedhigher education cullege.

Class of dW-- Care must lx exercistd when cmnpming “class of degree” between universities In the Scottish

uuiveraities, a high proportion of students take a general/ ordinary degree fKMI@WQ and this doesnot imply kick nf aucceaa on an honoura course. Initial emolment may, however, bc for the four-yearhonours cow with “duration of course” coded accordingly. If working from an entry coho~ it mustbe remembered that a high propmtion of ScoUiah students enter with SCE cpraliiicationa anduudertafm a four-year honours degn%, which afao effects eompambility with students holding A-1eveland othar entry qrmfificationa, who maybe on three-year honoura ccmraea.

- The “unclaasilied” code is often wed, particularly by the University of Londom for Honoursdegrees where classifications ars never awarded (eg in medicine). It should rmt bc interpretedautomatically as an unmtisfactory or failed honours dcgec.

ABERDEEN

- The University regulations allow students re-ait final examinations over a prind of up se fouryears (mdike the majority of universities which only allow a period of up to two years at the most).Until 1983, any such students leaving the University wcm reperted as leavers, even if these was apossibility that they might return tore-sit. Because, however, between 30% and 40% of thest studentsdid return, the University felt that this gave a misleading impression of theis completion rates and,fsom 19S3 onwaxia, used the follewing procedure sny atudenta who would pmvioualy have beenshnwm as leavers with ‘reason for heaving” code 2 (academic faifnre), axle 4 (health) and LX& 6(other reasons), were held in auspmae while there was a reaaonsble expectation that they could return.Ieitially this periud w set at two sessions aftes leavin& however, the University bsd always intended

thatit should l-wfour sessions, and this was implemented when their new student record @em wasintmdueed in 1989 (aflxting the University% returns to USR from the IkemteI 1989 returnonwards. “Unaumeaalid leavers” ie those who have spent the maximum permitted period in suspenseam the only onea to which the University allocates “reason for leaving” eoefd (academic fiifure) or,mom often, code 6 (other reasons).

BELFASTSt&

- The staffwho are shown under cost centre 12 (agriculture & forcaby) at Belfast are in factemployed on Civil Service conditions of service and paid directly by the Northern Ireland Defxwtmentof Agriculture. It was auggest~ in 1988, that the inclusion of these staff on the record might bimppropriate since they do not apr on the University payroll; the University, however, wasreluctant to omit such a significant area of activity from ita returns and continued to include them,shown as wholly outside tlmded, with a nominal salary of $1.

- No peatgmduate medical education wuraea are returned by Belfast, because although this activitywas, in the past, a function of the University’s Faculty of Medicine, by the time the ContinuingEducation Record was intmduc~ it had been transferred to the Northern Ireland Council for

CHECK DIGIT

1. A Check dlglt Is Included [n the USR reference number so thatm isquoted or incorrectly punched numbers may he detected toprevent Information being added to the wrong course record.The check d~g~t IS arrived at by performing certain numericcalculatlona on the reference number. The USR referencenumber m a ‘seJf-checklngl number [n the sense that each t!methe number Is presented to the computer the value of the check-dlgtt m tested.

The following are the more common errors :

(a)

TranscriptIon Error - an error lnvolvlng a singled[g~t kn Its own position eg. 59~91 for 59Q91

Single Transpositional Error - an error [nvolvhgthe reversal of two dlg~ts [n adJaCent pos:t[onseg. 5~91 for 59091--

Double Transposttlonal Error - an error involv(ngthe reversal of two d~glts In alternst(ve positionseg. 59190 for 59091—- --

Other Transpos Itlonal Error - an error Involvlngthe reversal of two digits more than two places awayfrom each other eg. 5~139~ for 5~091

Random Error - an error mvolv lng a comblnstlonof two or more of the errors described In (a) to (d)eg. 51909 for 59091——

2. Calculat~on of check d[g~t (modulus 10)

(a) Each dlg[t of the number [f multiplied by a ‘weight’and the sum of the products IS calculated, eg. theweights for the etght dlglt reference number mightbe .

3. Accuracy of Check Dtg[t

The degree of accuracy of the check dlglt 1s governed bythe weights used. By alterlng the weights used one can{ncrease the rates of deteCtlOn for certsln types of errors.It 1s therefore important to know which errors occur mostoften.

The results of two studies have shown that approximately 90%of errors are due to the tranacript[on of amgle dlglts and it 1stherefore (mportant that the maximum number of these shouldbe trapped.
