Differences in degree outcomes: Key findings

This report looks at the outcomes of the cohort of English-domiciled A-level students who entered full-time degree courses in 2007‑08. We examine the extent to which a student’s background affects their chance of obtaining an upper second or first class degree. The report updates and extends previous HEFCE research which analysed the cohort of 1997-98 entrants.
