Statistics
The Scottish Funding Council collects and analyses data relating to the provision of further and higher education in Scotland.
The information produced by our statisticians is used across our own organisation for funding, policy and evaluation purposes. Information is also made publicly available on our website in the form of statistical reports, performance indicators and other resources of value to those working within further and higher education. In addition to this, users of this website can access our Infact Database of students and courses at Scotland's colleges.
A summary of the key facts and figures relating to university and college funding in Scotland can be found in our Facts and Figures Booklet [PDF]
You can access statistical resources from the links on this page. For some higher education material you will be directed to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) which produces statistical information on behalf of the four UK higher education funding bodies.
The guidance area of our website contains information and schedules for those working in colleges who contribute directly to our statistical collections. If you are involved in this work you can submit information to us through FES online and EMA online.
