Discover progression - undergraduate to postgraduate
An interactive dashboard suite co-designed with strategic planning professionals to help universities track progression of undergraduate qualifiers into postgraduate education.
About discover progression
This interactive dashboard suite has been developed by Jisc and co-designed with strategic planning professionals from the higher education sector.
It uses multiple years of linked HESA data to help you determine:
- How many of your undergraduate qualifiers move into postgraduate study
- Where they progress to
- Postgraduate entrant gain/loss benchmarked against the HE sector and specific comparators
- Key characteristics of those who progress
If you work in postgraduate recruitment, postgraduate portfolio design or strategic planning, you will find this dashboard suite particularly valuable.
The dashboards will allow you to:
- Understand where your undergraduate qualifiers progress to for postgraduate study
- Track the gain/loss of postgraduate entrants across the sector
- Determine the best complementary subjects of those who progress to postgraduate study
- Understand the characteristics of those who do / do not progress, to develop support for postgraduate progression
- Benchmark your progression indicators against the HE sector
- Gain value from linked data spanning multiple years
This service falls outside the standard Heidi Plus subscription.
