ABSTRACT UK Higher education has for many years been offered to students at different institution types, one such being colleges of further education. He offered at further education colleges differs in many ways from that offered to a university . One way in which it differs greatly is the mode of provision. Traditional university degrees typically a commitment to a named three-year programme of study. Provision through colleges differs as students typically enrol on a two-year associate degree, which they may then decide to top up to a full bachelor’s degree at either their FEC or at partnered universities (2 + 1 mode). This research sought to investigate what factors students believed to be important when making course choices, and their reflection on the course type they chose. It was found that associate degree students tended to remain at the FEC if top-up options were available, and indicated a preference for the flexibility of the 2 + 1 mode. Factors that the majority of students deemed as important in their choice of top-up course was their career potential; students remaining at colleges were also concerned about the continuity of their educational experience and course content.

摘要英国多年来一直为不同机构类型的学生提供高等教育，其中之一就是继续教育学院。他在继续教育学院提供的录取与在大学提供的录取录取书有许多不同。差异很大的一种方式是提供方式。传统的大学学位通常会承诺三年的学习计划。大学提供的课程有所不同，因为学生通常会注册一个为期两年的副学士学位，然后他们可以决定在其FEC或合作大学（2 + 1模式）上充值至完整的学士学位。这项研究旨在调查学生在选择课程时认为重要的因素，以及他们对所选课程类型的反思。研究发现，如果有充值的选择，则副学士学位的学生倾向于留在FEC上，并表示倾向于2 + 1模式的灵活性。大多数学生在选择充值课程时认为重要的因素是他们的职业潜力；留在大学的学生也担心他们的教育经历和课程内容的连续性。
