<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The available information is shown in the tables. The Tables
have been compiled by the Higher Education Funding Council and describe the number
of Foundation Degree entrants (Table 1) and Qualifiers (Table 2) and those who transfer
from HEIs to honours degree level (Table 3a and 3b). The Higher Education Funding
Council (HEFCE) has derived these figures from the HESA standard population (HEIs)
and the equivalent population at Further Education Colleges (FECs). Some of the data
has been published in the 2010 HEFCE report “Foundation Degree: Key statistics 2001/02
to 2009/10”. <a href="http://www.hefce.ac.uk/media/hefce/content/pubs/2010/201012/10_12.pdf"

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It has not been possible for HEFCE to complete time series
data for FECs for all years because of the disproportionate cost in providing this
analysis.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Table 1 - Foundation Degree entrants</p><p>
