Robert Halfon – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Robert Halfon on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many people have applied for part-time higher education courses each year since 2004.

Mr David Willetts

Statistics are not available on applicants to part-time higher education courses as there is no centralised application service for part-time study. However, statistics on entrants to part-time courses at UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are available from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and have been provided back to the academic year 2004/05 in the following table.

Information on enrolments at UK HEIs in the academic year 2013/14 will become available from HESA in January 2015.
