1846. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if, in relation to the HEA published student number data by mode of study full-time or part-time, the number of full-time students includes students registered on full-time programmes but who are repeating modules and not completing 60 credits in the year; if the same is true for part-time students; and if the figure for part-time students includes those repeating modules and doing less credits than is required to progress from one year to another.

Statistics published by the HEA relating to student numbers include data on students who are repeating their studies and/or are completing less than 60 credits in a year. This is applicable across all modes of study. Whether a mode of study is recorded as full-time or part-time in the student record system relates to the number of credits a student is taking in an academic year.
