Key Information Set: Timetable and further information
Following a programme of research and development, which included research into the information needs of potential students, a consultation, pilots, and expert working groups, HEFCE are now working towards the implementation of the Key Information Set (KIS) in September 2012.
HEFCE are using the Unistats website (which provides the opportunity to search and compare subject-based course information at different institutions) as a basis to develop a new website that incorporates both the KIS data and Unistats data. The current Unistats site will close in September 2012, when the new official website will be launched.
The 'KIS widget' is a presentation of a small portion of the KIS data. It will appear in context on university and college websites, on the relevant course web page. Institutions will be able to include widgets on their websites in September 2012 when the new national site is launched. It is expected that all institutions will have embedded widgets on all relevant course pages by the end of October.
