Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which universities responded to the call for evidence on accelerated courses and switching university or degree; and, of those, how many allowed credits for previous study.

We received responses to the Call for Evidence from 30 universities, out of a total of 44 responses from higher education providers. Of these 30 university respondents, 25 (83%) said they take students who transferred to their institution from other providers.

Publishing a list of those universities who responded to our recent Call for Evidence and details of their responses would risk damaging our relationships with them, as we would be releasing information directly related to them and their operations. This would not be in the public interest as it could potentially limit our capability to gather evidence from these institutions in the future.
