Participation measures in higher education: 2020 to 2021

Details

Participation measures in higher education uses a new methodology for this 2020 to 2021 edition, which was set out in our letter about a temporary suspension for HE participation national statistics to the Office for Statistics Regulation.

Using the new methodology, participation measures will be estimated by tracking pupil cohorts aged 15 as they progress into higher education. Information will be available by:

  • age (up to age 34)
  • gender
  • region
  • level of study
  • mode of study

You can feedback on the usefulness and format of this statistical series by emailing the Higher Education Statistics and Research Unit at he.statistics@education.gov.uk.
