Statistics

At Medr, we publish official statistics about tertiary education and provide other data and insights into tertiary education and research.

Statistical publication schedule

We aim to provide a 12-month release calendar and announce the date of publication at least four weeks in advance. We also announce upcoming statistical publications through the Welsh Government’s statistics and research calendar.

We publish our statistics on our website at 9:30am on the announced date.
