WHAT WE DO
Our focus is on developing the University’s strategic analytics and reporting capability to help uncover insight into key areas such as our student population, research funding and our workforce.
We do this primarily through the management and development of the Cognos Analytics system, through which we provide a range of reporting via interactive dashboard and other formats. In addition to this we also undertake ad hoc research projects using the wide range of Higher Education sector data we have access to

Student Population
Student Application & Enrolment Trends

Dashboards on TNE & Online activity, Widening Participation
