Wider Information Set
At Southport College we are committed to making it easier for students and the wider public to access the information that we publish about the College and our courses.
What is the purpose of the wider information set
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has specified the information they expect higher education providers to make available online or by request. This information forms part of what HEFCE has described as a Wider Information Set (WIS).
The wider information set has two key purposes:
- to provide information about HE to a wide audience including: prospective and current students, students’ parents and advisers, employers, the media, and the College itself
- to form part of the evidence used within quality assurance reviews. Quality assurance reviews are external reviews of our HE provision which are undertaken by the QAA.
