The impact of higher education for part-time students
This report discusses the findings of a study commissioned by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) to examine the impact of higher education on the labour market experiences of graduates who studied part-time and full-time as undergraduates.
Little is known about the extent to which part-time undergraduate study enhances employability, earnings, and labour market progression, unlike the much larger body of research on full-time undergraduates. To help fill some of the large gaps in our knowledge, this study assesses the impact of part-time study on the labour market experiences of graduates and compares them with those who studied full-time as undergraduates.
The study analyses the Higher Education Statistics Agency's (HESA) data from the Longitudinal Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey, which follows up both full and part-time undergraduates six months and three and a half years after graduation.
