Academic staff
The 2024/25 HESA staff data has now been included in the Data explorer. New in 2026 - you can now interrogate and search the Academic staff dataline by variable (see the #Tags).
Academic staff data tells us about the engineering staff working at UK universities, as reported to HESA. Select a question of interest to create the visualisation of your choice, selecting particular engineering disciplines if you wish. Once you're explored the charts and tables or downloaded the dataset, you can get back to the Data explorer landing page (at any time) by clicking on the icons in the bar at the top of the page.
