table might differ from any produced by HESA.
Notes:
1. For the purposes of data protection figures have been rounded to the nearest five. Totals have been rounded independently and might not equal the sum of their component parts.
2. The definition of “Articulation” used for the Individual Student returns collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) covers any case where the student enters their programme with advanced standing with an HNC or HND. The Funding Council's definition of articulation relates to students entering either the second year of a first degree with an HNC or the third year with an HND, with the HNC/D having been obtained at a college, excluding the UHI partner colleges. Thus, for example, students on non-degree courses, students entering the second year of a first degree with an HND and students who obtained their HNC/D at an HEI would be classified as articulating in
In December 2012, The Scottish Government announced an additional £10 million of funding for 2013-14 to pay for additional HEI places including more than 1,000 for young people moving on from college to university.
