Announcing our Course and Tuition Fee Database: Postgraduate Research Edition

30.09.2024

In 2020, S2 developed the first iteration of our Course and Tuition Fee database, designed to be comprehensive, timely, accurate and to standardise the tuition fee landscape with new metrics.

Building on the success of our flagship product, we are pleased to launch a new, sector-first product focusing on Postgraduate Research courses.

Our PGR Course and Tuition Fee database is built using the same data science-led methodology as our flagship database. Closely resembling our Postgraduate Taught portion of the database, we collect and standardise all Postgraduate Research courses at UK higher education institutions. This includes both level 7 (e.g., MRes and MPhil) and level 8 offerings (e.g., PhD, DBA).

Our new database includes all Home and International fees, a course index, a new course level flag to indicate master’s and doctorate level study, subject coding, course URLs, delivery mode, duration as well as our original standardised metrics: a primary key for continuity between releases, a course flag to indicate new or discontinued offerings and fields that standardise the reported fee for integration into Business Intelligence tools.

The first release of the PGR Course and Tuition Fee database will be available after UK higher education institutions confirm their Home fee, which is usually in line with UKRI fees.
