Information on non-completion rates for higher education students broken down by subject is not held centrally. For full-time first degree students who began their studies in 2000/01, the overall non-completion rate for the UK was estimated by the Higher Education Funding Council for England to be 16 per cent., one of the lowest in the OECD.
