ILR specification: 2022 to 2023

Mode of Study: Field

Definition

An indicator of the mode of study expressed in terms of the OfS Higher Education Students Early Statistics survey (HESES) definitions. The mode recorded should be the mode at the end of year of programme of study being funded, or, if this is after the end of the ILR year, the mode on 31 July.

Reason Required

Required by the OfS for alignment with definitions used for funding allocations. The definitions refer back to an OfS definition so that, if in future there are any modifications to the Funding Council definitions, the ILR record is able to accommodate them.
