Dropping out of uni ...

Official figures show that 6.7% of students failed to complete the first year of their degree, however, at 18 universities the figure is at least 1 in 10. It is estimated that 18.5% will fail to complete their course, after dropping out, transferring to another university or graduating with an alternative qualification.  The highest drop-out rate was at the University of the West of Scotland, where 19.4 per cent of students failed to complete their first year.  In England, the worst was London Met, where 15.5% dropped out, followed by 12.5% at City, 12.4% at London South Bank, 11.9% at Middlesex and 11.7% at Bolton University.
