Final qualification award statistics in Higher Education

The request was successful.

Dear University of the Highlands and Islands,

Please can you give me the statistics regarding the final qualification awarded to UHI undergraduates on CertHE, DipHe and Degree courses. Note this does not include honours degrees.

For each CertHE, DipHE and Degree awarded by the UHI for the last 5 years, please could you provide the following information.

Name of course
Nature/level of course (CertHE, DipHE, Degree)
Total number of students graduating on that course at that level
The number of students awarded a "distinction"
The percentage of students graduating with a "distinction"

This should also include students who graduated with one of the above awards but who were perhaps initially registered for a higher award.

For example:

2019

DipHe Gaelic Media
30 students graduated; 15 received distinction; 50%

Psychology BSC (Hons)
10 students received a CertHE; 1 student received a distinction; 10%
20 students received a DipHe; 4 students received a distinction; 20%

Yours faithfully,

S A Smith
