Footnotes

  1. Historic statistics on students receiving loans is published by Student Loans Company in the Student Support for Higher Education in England publication: : https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-support-for-higher-education-in-england-2019
  2. Plan 2 loans were introduced in place of Plan 1 loans for new entrants to higher education from September 2012. Part-time higher education fee loans were introduced at the same time and part-time maintenance loans were introduced in August 2018.
  3. The outlay model only forecasts students as receiving loans up to six years after they entered higher education, therefore no Plan 1 outlay is forecast from academic year 2019/20 onwards. However, there are some exceptional cases where students may still be paid a Plan 1 loan later than this, e.g. if they had suspended their studies.
  4. Doctoral loans were introduced in August 2018.
  5. Coverage: Borrowers who received loans as English domiciled students studying in the UK or as EU domiciled students studying in England.
  6. Borrowers receiving both fee and maintenance loans for their course are included in both totals.
  7. Master's loans were introduced in August 2016.
  8. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 5,000 borrowers.
  9. Advanced Learner Loans were introduced for students aged 24+ on some further education courses in August 2013, and extended to students aged 19-23 in August 2016.
