TIP: At the bottom of each workbook is an outline of a star. You can click on this star (which will then turn to black) to ‘favourite’ content. Any content which has been ‘favourited’ can then be easily located to from the corresponding star icon in the top right-hand side of the view.

This is the count of number of international students enrolled across various JACS subjects and principal subjects for the sector or at a provider for a specific academic year. This helps in understanding the student ratio across international vs total student population and international vs UK student population. It provides a trend of how the international student population has changed over time.

The measure value changes based on the interactive risk assessment filters provided on the dashboard. It will provide reduced international student numbers based on the domicile country and student loss percentage value inputs provided by the user. This helps in understanding and evaluating the impact of loss of international students on overall sector and individual subject streams.

This is count of number of students at risk based on the inputs provided in the risk assessment filters. This helps user assess the exact number of reductions in international student numbers and help them with subject planning for the upcoming year.

This dashboard assesses the demand of principle subjects, providers and domicile country based on student full person equivalent (FPE) and a market share percentage (%) field.

This dashboard uses HESA student full person equivalent (FPE) data and a derived market share percentage (%), and can be manipulated using the various filter options at the top of the view:

• Provider
• Domicile (Country)
• Level of study: Postgraduate/undergraduate
• Mode of study: Full/Part-time
• Academic year
• JACS Subject area

The bar chart shows the number of students and market share percentage (%) within the international market for one of all providers based on the filter selection.

Default sort options have been disabled, instead multiple sort options have been provided with the use of the ‘Sort By’ filter on the dashboard and is applicable to all three charts on the dashboard.

You can toggle through to the next dashboard by selecting the dashboard title in the grey ribbon tool bar (at the top of the view).

This dashboard identifies the trend(s) in student recruitment over time and can be analysed at an International, UK, provider, and principle subject level.  

Risk assessment filters (domicile country and student loss percentage) apply to this dashboard. By default, student loss percentage (%) is pre-set to 10% for all domicile countries.

This dashboard uses HESA student full person equivalent (FPE) data and an international student loss percentage (%) – variable / user input derived field. The dashboard can be manipulated by using the various filter options:

• Provider
• JACS Subject area
• Exclusion filter
• Domicile (country): choose up to 5 Countries or select a specific country
• Academic year
• Level of study: postgraduate/undergraduate
• Mode of study: full/part-time
• Student loss %: anticipated % in the reduction of student FPE at a sector or domiciled country level

This time series identifies the trend in the recruitment of international students over time by JACS subject areas, you can use the drop-down menu to filter this view to a specific principle subject.  When you hover over the time series the tooltip will identify the principle subject area, the academic year, and the count of student FPE.

This scatter plot highlights a comparison of UK and International student recruitment by JACS principle subject areas.

The left hand-side axis shows the international student FPE; the bottom axis shows the UK student FPE. You can select an axis to identify a sector average line in the view.

This bar chart shows the total student FPE (in grey) against the total international student FPE (in pink) studying within each JACS principle subject area, at a sector level.

Each row of data can be selected to highlight the principle subject and student FPE counts, and the higher the student FPE the larger the bar will be.

You can toggle through to the next dashboard by selecting the dashboard title in the grey ribbon tool bar (at the top of the view).

This dashboard identifies the potential risk in the loss of international student FPE at a provider, domicile and JACS subject area(s) level.

This dashboard uses HESA student full person equivalent (FPE) data and an international student loss percentage (%) – variable/user input derived field. The risk FPE field is calculated based as a loss percentage (%) that has been entered by the user of the dashboard. The dashboard can be manipulated by using the various filter options:

• Provider
• JACS Subject area
• Domicile Continent
• Domicile Country: Choose up to 5 countries or a specific country
• Academic year
• Level of study: postgraduate/undergraduate
• Mode of study: full/part-time
• Student loss %: anticipated loss in student FPE for the whole sector or a specific country

Users can select up to 5 different countries or all and enter variable loss % to assess the market condition based on these variable inputs:

Domicile country 1

• Set it to ‘All’ if planning to do risk assessment based on overall loss in international students across the globe
• Select a specific country if planning to do planning to do risk assessment based on loss in international students from that country
   

Student loss %   - Anticipated percentage loss of student numbers for domicile country 1 selection

Domicile country 2
