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 \u201cFoundation Degree: Key statistics 2001/02 to 2009/10\u201d. http://www.hefce.ac.uk/media/hefce/content/pubs/2010/201012/10_12.pdf<\/a>).<\/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>

The figures since 2009/10 show a decline in foundation degree entrants registered at English HEIs with a particularly sharp decline in 2012/13. Some of the reasons for this trend are discussed in the HEFCE report \u201cUndergraduate courses other than first degrees: an analysis of recent trends\u201d published in April 2014.<\/p>

Table 3a and 3b shows the number of UK Domicile students being awarded a foundation degree who progress in the following academic year from an HEI to study an Honours Programme. Table 3a is not comparable with Table 3b. The figures shown in Table 3a (up to 2009/10) are derived from analysis produced by HEFCE. The data in Table 3b shows qualifiers derived from the HESA standard qualifications obtained population (Table 3b).

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 \u201cFoundation Degree: Key statistics 2001/02 to 2009/10\u201d. http://www.hefce.ac.uk/media/hefce/content/pubs/2010/201012/10_12.pdf<\/a>).<\/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>

The figures since 2009/10 show a decline in foundation degree entrants registered at English HEIs with a particularly sharp decline in 2012/13. Some of the reasons for this trend are discussed in the HEFCE report \u201cUndergraduate courses other than first degrees: an analysis of recent trends\u201d published in April 2014.<\/p>

Table 3a and 3b shows the number of UK Domicile students being awarded a foundation degree who progress in the following academic year from an HEI to study an Honours Programme. Table 3a is not comparable with Table 3b. The figures shown in Table 3a (up to 2009/10) are derived from analysis produced by HEFCE. The data in Table 3b shows qualifiers derived from the HESA standard qualifications obtained population (Table 3b).

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 \u201cFoundation Degree: Key statistics 2001/02 to 2009/10\u201d. http://www.hefce.ac.uk/media/hefce/content/pubs/2010/201012/10_12.pdf<\/a>).<\/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>

The figures since 2009/10 show a decline in foundation degree entrants registered at English HEIs with a particularly sharp decline in 2012/13. Some of the reasons for this trend are discussed in the HEFCE report \u201cUndergraduate courses other than first degrees: an analysis of recent trends\u201d published in April 2014.<\/p>

Table 3a and 3b shows the number of UK Domicile students being awarded a foundation degree who progress in the following academic year from an HEI to study an Honours Programme. Table 3a is not comparable with Table 3b. The figures shown in Table 3a (up to 2009/10) are derived from analysis produced by HEFCE. The data in Table 3b shows qualifiers derived from the HESA standard qualifications obtained population (Table 3b).
