- HESA Where do HE students study https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/where-study
The HESA 2024/25 publication for The University of Bristol reports 23,865 undergraduates, 8,570 postgraduates, 32,435 total students and 30,510 FTE students. HESA figures are rounded to the nearest 5.
The catalog field stores the undergraduate figure. The specialist degree level does not apply to the UK model, so specialist enrollment is stored as 0.
