The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), now part of Jisc, collects and publishes data on student qualifications across all UK higher education providers, including data on degree classifications. Counts of first degree qualifications by class of degree for academic years 2006/07 to 2021/22 are published in Chart 9 of HESA\u2019s Student Data, which is available at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/chart-9<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> The data includes students studying for first degree qualifications and excludes students who qualified with an unclassified first degree (mainly including degrees that do not have a classification, such as Medicine).<\/p> <\/p> Counts for academic years 1994/95 to 2005/06 can be found in HESA\u2019s publication archive, and can be accessed for the relevant years via the links below:<\/p> <\/p>"}
