We are developing a new studentship data system to replace the Studentship Details Functionality (SDF) on the Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) system.
The target date for the new system to be operational is the start of the 2025 to 2026 academic year.
Plan of work
Design phase
The discovery phase of the project was completed in January 2025. In February 2025 we began designing the new service based on our research.
We have liaised with a number of external stakeholders, these include:
- doctoral investment managers
- admissions managers
- users of the Je-S system
We will continue to involve stakeholders throughout the design process.
Data migration
Existing data will be migrated to the new system to allow continuous access to active studentship records.
Once the data migration plan has been finalised we will directly contact training grant holders about:
- actions we require from them
- potential system freezes
Improvements to data capture
The standard data currently being collected will be captured in the new system.
We are reviewing all data fields and full details on the requirements will be confirmed as soon as possible.
Keep up to date
This page will be updated regularly as the work progresses and we will be in direct communication with training grant holders.
