part-time first-degree undergraduates studying in higher education institutions (HEIs)
in England from 2019/20 to 2023/24. However, the department does publish forecasts
for number of loan borrowers and entrants for full-time and part-time undergraduates
who are English domiciled and attend UK HEIs, and who are EU domiciled and attend
higher education institutions in England.</p><p> </p><p>The latest forecast figures
