It will be the HESA return for 2002-03 that will be used by newspaper and other league table compilers. The previously used fields (23/24) for A level and Higher Points scores are removed and replaced with new fields including one for total tariff score. The arrangement and method for calculating tariff scores was described in detail in HESA Student Circulars 01/04 (Nov 2001) and 02/01 (May/June 2002) and available at: http://www.hesa.ac.uk/circulars/student/2001/01_04.htm http://www.hesa.ac.uk/circulars/student/2002/02_01.htm Annex 2 of 02/01 explains how the calculation should be done.

I am uncertain whether we should be providing tariff averages based on A/AS levels only or averages based on total tariff. I'd be interested to know what others are proposing to do. Or does anyone know what average the newspaper league tables will be using? Thanks if you can help.
