Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the number of Higher Education institutions offered accelerated degree courses.

The course search function from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website shows the number of providers offering full-time undergraduate accelerated degrees in the 2022/23 academic year. The website results can be accessed here: https://digital.ucas.com/coursedisplay/.

The Office for Students also publishes data on the allocations of grant funding to higher education providers for the 2022/23 academic year. Column K in Annex A shows the providers receiving grant funding for accelerated full-time undergraduate provision. The data can be found here: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/recurrent-funding-for-2022-23/.
