This is a group of templates that provide an easy method to link to student population statistics for UK universities. The templates should be updated annually as the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) releases new data, thus it should not be necessary to manually update the articles or their references. The next update is due in January 2022 and is for the 2020/21 academic year. Universities are identified by a INSTID (institution identifier) as a parameter, which was published alongside each university by HESA - HESA now uses the UKPRN instead, but the INSTID is used on all the pages where this template is used so has not been changed.
The templates are:
- ((HESA student population)) – gives the total student population
- ((HESA undergraduate population)) – gives the total undergraduate student population
- ((HESA postgraduate population)) – gives the total postgraduate student population
- ((HESA student population rank)) – where the university lies in a list ordered by total student population (highest first)
- ((HESA total)) – gives the current total number of universities
- ((HESA citation)) – gives a citation for the source of data
- ((HESA year)) – gives the academic year to which the data applies (not the year it was generated)
Usage[edit]
- ((HESA student population|INSTID=))
- One required parameter: the INSTID for the university
- ((HESA undergraduate population|INSTID=))
- One required parameter: the INSTID for the university
- ((HESA postgraduate population|INSTID=))
- One required parameter: the INSTID for the university
- ((HESA student population rank|INSTID=))
- One required parameter: the INSTID for the university
- ((HESA total))
- No parameters
- ((HESA citation))
- No parameters
- ((HESA year))
- No parameters
Examples[edit]
0204 is the INSTID for the University of Manchester.
- ((HESA student population|INSTID=0204))
- 40,485
- ((HESA undergraduate population|INSTID=0204))
- 26,630
- ((HESA postgraduate population|INSTID=0204))
- 13,855
- ((HESA student population rank|INSTID=0204))
- 3rd
- ((HESA total))
- 169
- ((HESA citation))

- ((HESA year))
- 2019/20
Putting it all together[edit]
- Infobox
| Students | 40,485 (2019/20)[1] |
|---|---|
| Undergraduates | 26,630 (2019/20)[1] |
| Postgraduates | 13,855 (2019/20)[1] |
| Website | manchester.ac.uk |
- These templates are typically used for ((Infobox university)), but can also be used in prose (see below).
((Infobox university
| name = The University of Manchester
| students = ((HESA student population|INSTID=0204)) (((HESA year)))<ref name="HESA citation">((HESA citation))</ref>
| undergrad = ((HESA undergraduate population|INSTID=0204)) (((HESA year)))<ref name="HESA citation"/>
| postgrad = ((HESA postgraduate population|INSTID=0204)) (((HESA year)))<ref name="HESA citation"/>
| website = [http://www.manchester.ac.uk/ manchester.ac.uk]
))
- Prose
- The first example below is in edit mode below and the second is how it is displayed:
'''The University of Manchester''' ('''UoM''') is a [[public university|public]] [[Research universities|research university]] in the city of [[Manchester]], England. In ((HESA year)), the university had ((HESA student population|INSTID=0204)) students and 10,400 staff, making it the [[List of universities in the United Kingdom by enrollment|((HESA student population rank|INSTID=0204)) largest]] university in the UK (out of ((HESA total)) including the [[Open University]]).
The University of Manchester (UoM) is a public research university in the city of Manchester, England. In 2019/20, the university had 40,485 students and 10,400 staff, making it the 3rd largest university in the UK (out of 169 including the Open University).
