A unique identifier for every student in the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) system.

The number is allocated to a student when they first commence a higher education course of study, and this transfers with them to each Higher Education Institution they subsequently attend.

Every NHS EMPLOYEE who has attended a course at a higher education institution, whether as an EMPLOYEE of the NHS or not, will have an EMPLOYEE HIGHER EDUCATION STATISTICS AGENCY STUDENT NUMBER.
