This independent research explores current practice in the design, delivery and ongoing quality management of degree apprenticeships in higher education settings.

This report sets out the results of our analysis of changes in the proportion of first and upper second class degrees awarded between 2010-11 and 2020-21. We report on how graduate attainment has changed over this period, and the extent to which these changes can be statistically accounted for by changes in certain characteristics of the graduate population. This analysis has been undertaken at both the sector level and the provider level.

In this document, we identify and discuss the most significant issues raised by respondents in relation to the proposals set out in part one of the consultation; outline our decisions about the approach to in-year individualised student data collection that will be taken forward as part of the Data Futures programme.

This document is a short supplementary consultation which proposes amendments to the proposals in the consultation we ran in December 2020 on publishing information about higher education providers.

But there is more that they can do, and our regulation will continue to actively encourage this.
