Given that the IP is a relatively small nationally representative household sample without (i.e., there is no oversampling of student populations or young people with degrees), I would not expect there to be large numbers who have studied a particular degree.</p>
<p>If you are not tied to using the Innovation Panel in your analysis and can wait, you may want to keep an eye on the Understanding Society mainstage data. Since Wave 5 we have been asking participants for informed consent to link to their HESA records. For those who gave consent, we will be able to augment the survey responses with detailed higher education information in the future. As a registered Understanding Society data user you will be informed when such linked data are made available through the UK Data Service.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Thanks a lot for your prompt response. Yes, I'll wait for it. Do you think it would take more than a year?<br />--Yigit</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #743: Education Informationhttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/743?journal_id=25332017-03-15T09:32:43ZGundi Kniesgknies@essex.ac.uk
<ul></ul><p>Hi Yigit,<br />the linkage process in this area has not advanced as much as other data linkage projects (such as linkage to school, health and income records). I do not think the data will be shared within this year as it is a complex process. <br />Best wishes,<br />Gundi</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #743: Education Informationhttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/743?journal_id=25702017-03-28T12:43:59ZVictoria Nolanvlnolan@essex.ac.uk
