The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has prepared information on students domiciled in England enrolled on foundation degrees, higher national diplomas, or higher national certificates. The figures cover HEFCE-funded higher education institutions and further education colleges in England, as well as enrolments at alternative providers in England. Figures for the academic years 2015/16 and 2016/17 have been provided in the attached table.

Figures for 2016/17 are provisional, and all figures are valid as of 16 March 2018.
