Unistats: Key Information Set (KIS)

Unistats launched their Key Information Set (KIS) for comparing UK higher education course data yesterday.

It includes data on each university and college’s satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey, jobs and salaries after study and other key information for prospective students (like award classifications):

It’s very big, 167MB unzipped!  The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) positively encourage it’s use, under licence.

Higher education provides ideal data sets to apply and illustrate data and statistical analyses, of practical use to both teachers and students, and potentially as teaching or learning tools in themselves.

By it’s nature, the academic calendar suggests a schedule for reproducible research and reporting.
