Student Data and Systems Technical Lead (External Reporting)

The Student Administration service supports learning and teaching at UWE and helps enhance the student experience.

The Student Data and Systems community works together to join up our various business and system areas so that we do not work in siloes, but contribute to a “Team UWE” approach to stewarding our student data and systems. 

The External Reporting team takes the lead for compiling and submitting a wide range of statutory and compliance reporting to external bodies – including the annual HESA Student record, the ILR and Discover Uni returns, along with a range of other submissions to the Office for Students, Department for Education and other professional bodies. The team is also responsible for the provision of student operational reporting which supports business processes and helps to promote high-quality student data.
