Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps are being taken to ensure that all higher education institutions have published credit transfer arrangements in place; and how those arrangements are monitored.

The information gathered through our recent Call for Evidence on accelerated courses and switching university or degree has provided valuable data and insight. It has highlighted the key barriers to the take-up of credit transfer opportunities, including a general lack of information and awareness. We are now fully considering the available evidence before deciding on next steps.
