Entry and completion of part-time students examined

HEFCE has published a report on the characteristics of part-time study focusing on the completion rates of students entering a first degree.

The report looks at two cohorts of students attending UK higher education institutions who began a first degree through a part-time programme of study. It examines the influence of study intensity on completion, and takes into account some of the difficulties in interpreting the data.
