It is a requirement of The Office for Students that Middlesbrough College publishes data relating to its applications, offers, acceptances, registration and attainment.

On this page, we have provided information that highlights the number of:

  • applications for admission onto recognised, undergraduate higher education courses that Middlesbrough College has received from UK-domiciled applicants
  • offers Middlesbrough College has made in relation to those applications
  • the total figure of offers Middlesbrough College accepted along with the number of students who have gone on to register
  • students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course at the College

It also shows these numbers by reference to:

  • The gender of the individuals to which they relate
  • Their ethnicity
  •  Their socio-economic background

The following text  – which the OfS requires us to publish here – is extracted from Introduction to the  OfS document Regulatory Advice 8.

1. This regulatory advice sets out guidance for higher education providers in England that are registered with the Office for Students (OfS). Section 9 of the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA) requires the OfS to ensure that the ongoing conditions of registration for certain providers include a transparency condition.

2. This mandatory condition will apply to all registered higher education providers in either the Approved or Approved (fee cap) part of the register, once regulations are made by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 9 of HERA. The regulations have been approved by both Houses of Parliament in accordance with section 119 of HERA and we expect them to be made in December 2018. We are issuing this guidance now to give providers more time to take preparatory steps in relation to the transparency requirements.

3. This guidance sets out what you must do once you are registered, to prepare to comply with the ongoing condition of registration relating to transparency information. More detailed technical requirements will be published in February 2019 and you will need to comply with these. This guidance should be read in conjunction with the OfS’s regulatory framework (OfS 2018.01) which sets out in full the approach that we will take to the regulation of providers. If there are any inconsistencies between the regulatory framework and this document then the regulatory framework will prevail.

What is the transparency information condition?

4. Our regulatory framework contains an ongoing condition of registration that applies to providers in either the Approved or Approved (fee cap) part of the register:

Condition F1: The provider must provide to the OfS, and publish, in the manner and form specified by the OfS, the transparency information set out in section 9 of HERA.

5. The transparency information means the information we request in relation to the following:

a. The number of applications for admission on to higher education courses that the provider has received
b. The number of offers made by the provider in relation to those applications
c. The number of those offers accepted and the number of those who go on to register at the provider
d. The number of students who registered and went on to complete their course with the provider
e. The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with the provider

6. In each case, the information that we ask you to provide may include those numbers by reference to the following:

a. The gender of the individuals to which they relate
b. Their ethnicity
c. Their socioeconomic background
