Overview of access routes to higher education

Notes:The question on students’ access routes provided multiple response options, so that students may have combined different routes to enter higher education.*Unweighted average

Source: Hauschildt et al. (2015)

Higher education entrance examination(75 %*, 15 countries)

Upper secondary qualification(70 %*, 22 countries)

Upper secondary qualification-adult learning(8 %*, 11 countries)

Special exams for certain student groups(5 %*,11 countries)

Accreditation of prior learning (4 %*, 10 countries)

Special acces courses(3 %*, 13 countries)

Regular entry routes Alternative entry routes

Most students

enter through regular routes

…but alternative routes do

exist


Alternative access routes in EUROSTUDENT countries



Alternative access routes in EUROSTUDENT countries


More students entering through alternative routes can be found…

• …among students without HE background

• …among older students

• …among delayed transition students ( delay >24 months)


Delayed transition students


Share of students with a time delay of more than 24 months between leaving school and entering higher education (in %)

Share of delayed transition students

is higher among students without HE

Men in the population aged 40‐59 without HE(potential student fathers)

Under-representation

Students without HE background…

• …more often have a delayed entry into higher education

• …are older than students without HE background

• …favor non‐universities over universites

• …tend to be better represented in BA than in MA programmes

• …tend to prefer engineering over humanities subjects

Do students without HE background study differently?
