Aimhigher Greater Manchester Datasets

In order to build up a picture of HE applicants across our area, and to track trends, the Aimhigher Greater Manchester Coordination Unit has purchased data from the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS) and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). In broad terms these datasets denote the volume of Greater Manchester learners applying to and entering higher education, although the datasets do not cover all groups of learners.
