Non-continuation

The data for The Open University relating to projected outcomes in Table T5 has been suppressed as the first degree provision is relatively new and hence there are insufficient students in each year to inform a robust projection (applicable to table T5, 2018/19 publication)

Due to data coding issues relating to the commencement data of students, University of the West of Scotland has been excluded from this analysis (applicable to table T3a-d, 2018/19 publication).

Due to data coding issues relating to end date of students, St Patrick’s International College have been excluded from the non-continuation analysis (applicable to table T3d, 2018/19 publication).

The non-continuation data for Kensington College of Business includes 20 students who did not secure SLC funding and could not confirm their enrolment within 50 days of commencement and 6 missing qualifications from their student return (applicable to table series T3 experimental).

The data for Grŵp Llandrillo Menai has been suppressed in table T3c due to some of the qualification on entry data being returned incorrectly (applicable to table T3c experimental).

Data for The University of Buckingham has been excluded from table T5 due to the year of programme being incorrectly reported for some students. The anomaly has disproportionally affected the projected to complete figure (applicable to table T5).

The proportion of students transferring to other Higher Education providers appears high for SRUC because the responsibility for running some of their provision transferred to another institution in 2016/17. Without this transfer the overall percentage transferring in table T3a would have been 0.4%, while the percentages for young and mature entrants would have been 0.5% and 0.0% respectively and the overall percentage transferring in table T3c would have been 0% (applicable to tables T3a and T3c).

Due to an error The University of Brighton did not return qualification information for approximately 10 mature entrants which has affected the table T3a and T3c indicators for those with previous higher education qualifications (applicable to tables T3a and T3c).

Data for the The University of Brighton was suppressed in table T3d in the 2014/15 publication due to the incorrect coding of qualification obtained for a group of students. As a result, their data has been excluded from table T4b in the 2015/16 publication (applicable to table T4b).

Data for the University of Brighton have been suppressed in table T3d in the 2014/15 publication due to the incorrect coding of qualification obtained for a group of students (applicable to table T3d).

From 1 August 2013, the University of Huddersfield campus at Barnsley (including the majority of its students), were transferred to Barnsley College. This means that the majority of students returned as studying at the Barnsley Campus in 2012/13 were shown as transferring to another HE provider in 2013/14. This is likely to have an impact on the non-continuation UK performance indicators with the completion rates for students at the campus (and the university overall) showing a decrease in the proportion of those continuing or qualifying at the same HE provider.

From 1 August 2012, the University of Huddersfield's campus at Oldham (including the majority of its students) were transferred to Oldham College. This means that the majority of students returned as studying at the Oldham Campus in 2011/12 were shown as transferring to another institution in 2012/13. This may have an impact on the non-continuation UK performance indicators with the completion rates for students at the campus (and the University overall) showing a decrease in the proportion of those continuing or qualifying at the same HE provider.
