Abstract
This chapter will explore the factors facilitating and inhibiting the supply of part-time undergraduate higher-education provision in England. To contextualise this discussion, the chapter will start by outlining the nature and scale of part-time provision in England. Then it will examine the key characteristics of part-time undergraduates in England and how they differ from those of full-time undergraduates, including a brief discussion of recent trends in higher-education enrolments. Next, the chapter will explore the factors impacting on these enrolment trends, specifically those affecting the supply of part-time provision. It will focus on issues that help to explain the uneven distribution and patterns of part-time undergraduate provision both across the higher-education sector and within higher-education institutions, highlighting the role of government policies. Th is will include some discussion of part-time students’ motivations for studying. Finally, the chapter will explore the 2012/13 reforms, aimed at boosting the supply of part-time provision and question their potential effectiveness. In particular, the introduction for the first time of student loans for some part-time students to pay for the large increase in their tuition fees.
