Student Load Archives

This data source is an archive of published student load for the University of Sheffield. The data reflects the student population as at the 1st December for each year being reported, with the activity (FTE load) finalised at the end of the academic year. The current academic year is not publised until the end of the academic year.


 

Calculating Student Load

UG and PGT Student Load is based upon the module record of a student using the equations below, in which x is the FTE value for each module for a particular student and y is the credit value of module.
  • 120 credit programme: x = y/120
  • 180 credit programme: x = y/180

PGR Student Load is apportioned according to the owning department of the student's supervisor. A detailed explanation of how Student Load is calculated is distributed within the ADC Plans.
