Details

This publication was previously named 鈥楶articipation Rates in Higher Education鈥�.

These statistics measure entry to higher education for students who are:

  • 17 to 30 years old
  • in higher education (HE) for the first time
  • living in England
  • at UK higher education providers (HEPs) and English, Welsh and Scottish further education providers (FEPs)
  • staying in HE for at least 6 months

Statistics are available by age, sex and mode of study (full-time or part-time). Experimental breakdowns are also included for level of study and provider type.

To inform debate over the future of this National Statistics series, we have included a discussion paper on the advantages of measuring initial participation using a cohort approach in future.

You can feedback on the usefulness and format of this statistical series by email to [email protected].
