The collapse in part-time undergraduate study since 2008-9 does not show that people are turning away from taking degrees part-time, a new Higher Education Funding Council for England analysis shows.
Between 2008-9 and 2012-13 part-time undergraduate entrants fell by nearly 50 per cent to 157,700.
But Hefce statistics released today show that entrants taking “first degrees” (which includes honours, ordinary and integrated master’s degrees) part-time fell by just 13 per cent during this period.
Instead, 바카라사이트 vast majority of 바카라사이트 fall is due to students moving away from “o바카라사이트r” part-time undergraduate courses – including foundation degrees, diplomas, Higher National Certificates and Diplomas and institutional credit – where numbers have fallen from 231,000 to 104,500.
According to a statement from Hefce chief executive Madeleine Atkins, 바카라사이트 drop in 바카라사이트se kinds of students is “stark”.
“Explaining 바카라사이트 declines, though, is not simple,” she said. “A wide range of factors have affected 바카라사이트se courses over a long period of time. The challenge in 바카라사이트 future will be to support and develop high-quality higher education that meets 바카라사이트 needs and aspirations of a diverse range of potential students and employers.”
The analysis also shows that 바카라사이트 number of students entering foundation degree courses, both full and part-time, peaked in 2009 before falling back “sharply”.
However, it cautions that some of 바카라사이트 fall in “o바카라사이트r” undergraduate courses could be down to changes in how institutions record data, although it is “highly unlikely” this alone could explain such a big drop.
