The data we can access across the University provides us with information about several useful internal performance measures. Some of these, such as student outcomes and student experience, are also:
- used to establish baseline data for external regulatory organisations, such as the Office for Students (OFS)
- considered as part of the Teaching Excellence Framework
As a programme leader, it’s helpful to be aware of these key performance indicators KPIs). Many of them can inform our learning and teaching approach, and internal quality measures such as education annual reviews.
You can also explore how departments are performing in relation to these KPIs use the KPI Scorecard on Power BI.
The Office for Students’ objectives
The Office for Students aims to ensure that all students who study in English higher education (HE) institutions have the opportunity to access, succeed and progress from HE.
They have four primary regulatory objectives. These say that all students, from all backgrounds, with the ability and desire to undertake HE:
- are supported to access, succeed in, and progress from, HE
- receive a high-quality academic experience, and their interests are protected while they study or in the event of provider, campus, or course closure
- can progress into employment or further study, and their qualifications hold their value over time.
- receive value for money
