Admissions Data Reporting

The admissions data team supply regular reports to specified contacts, data for annual reports, support for reports available in the Management Information hub and bespoke one-off reports.‌

We provide information on applicants only - from the moment they apply to the university to the point of enrolment.

For pre-application data you will need to contact the Marketing office. For enrolled students you will need to contact Student Records.

Our year-by-year workflow is as follows:

  • Application information for internal stakeholders: All year
  • Communications (one-off emails, assistance with CRM): January to July
  • Application information for external stakeholders: June to September

January to July tends to be the busiest time of year for data requests which relate to sending communications to applicants. June to September sees the most work for external stakeholders, for example responding to requests from members of the public and Freedom of Information requests. We supply data and reporting for internal stakeholders throughout the year.
