HE region

HE region shows the Government Office Region in which the university or college is located. (Labelled Institution region in Annual Datasets.)

Before 1998 entry, UCAS presented regional data by Standard Statistical Region, which is not directly comparable with Government Office Region (GOR). Regions most affected by the change include the North (now divided into the North East and North West regions) and the North West (which has been expanded to include the county of Cumbria, formerly in the North). Merseyside, which was previously included in the North West, is now listed independently. East Anglia was redefined and expanded as the Eastern region, including Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Consequently, the South East region became substantially smaller.

Data to match your precise requirements
If you want more detailed data you can use our simple statistical enquiry service to devise your own tables showing HE region by any of the following:

Age
Sex
Region
Subject
HE institution

You can also filter by UK country and course type (Degree/HND).

More flexibility
You can create your own multi-dimensional tables (ie Institution region by Sex and Subject) using our annual datasets. These are free downloadable spreadsheet files that enable you to undertake more sophisticated analysis of the data we provide using pivot tables. Using these, you can still plot Institution region against any of the above, and you can also include one or more additional variables from the list.

Additional data
If you require more specialised data, our statistical enquiries team may be able to help. While we do make a cost-recovery charge for custom-built data, we are always happy to discuss your requirements with no-obligation. You can complete the enquiry request form and post, fax or email it to us, or contact stats@ucas.ac.uk tel: 01242 544896 quoting EW12.

Analysis
Many of our customers have told us that they haven't the time, or maybe the expertise, to exploit the data available from UCAS to its full potential. Did you know that we could do that for you? Many universities and colleges are now using our new range of statistical and analytical services, which support our data provision with consultation, analysis, reports, presentations and training.
