Key Information Set http:\/\/www.keyinformationsets.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cKey Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full or part time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students. From September 2012 all KIS information will be published on the Unistats web-site and will also be accessed via a small advert, or \u2018widget\u2019, on the course web pages of universities and colleges. Prospective students will be able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses on the Unistats web-site.\u201d Source: HEFCE http:\/\/www.hefce.ac.uk\/whatwedo\/lt\/publicinfo\/kis\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
