Widening participation: UK Performance Indicators

Publication archive

The UK Performance Indicators (UKPIs) data release was discontinued after 2020/21.
The UK Performance Indicators data from 2015/16 onwards are presented as interactive Google tables. The interactive tables include multiple years' data accessible by a filter button on each table.
From 2018/19, the performance indicators are based on a methodology previously used for experimental statistics in 2015/16 - 2017/18.

Non-continuation (2020/21 publication)

The end of a collaborative provision partnership has resulted in a number of continuing students transferring from Falmouth University to the delivery partner in 2020/21. This means:

UK Performance Indicators: Non-continuation

The proportion of UK domiciled undergraduate entrants who do not continue into their second year - at national level and by HE provider.

Non-continuation (2020/21 publication)

For St Andrews University the percentage projected to transfer to another provider in Table T5 is higher than in previous years, when it was typically between 3 and 4%. This is due to a collaborative degree course where students spend the first two years at St Andrews and then move to the other provider involved in the collaboration. As this course started in 2018-19 this will be the first set of projected outcomes to be affected by the students on the course transferring to the collaborative provider.

Non-continuation (2020/21 publication)

The non-continuation following year of entry data for Queen's University Belfast and Stranmillis University College was supressed in Table T3d in the 2019/20 publication due to a change in reporting practices of foundation degrees. As a result, their data have been excluded from Table T4b in the 2020/21 publication (applicable to table T4b).

 

Non-continuation (2020/21 publication)

The data for The Open University relating to projected outcomes in Table T5 has been suppressed as the provision is relatively new and hence there are insufficient students in each year to inform a robust projection (applicable to table T5).
