Abstract
The Futuretrack longitudinal project is a survey of 2005/6 higher education UCAS applicants who aspired to enter full-time undergraduate education in United Kingdom Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Respondents were surveyed in spring and summer 2006 prior to higher education entry; again a year later; and finally towards the end of their three or four year undergraduate programmes, in 2009 or 2010. They have subsequently been surveyed for a fourth and final sweep in autumn and winter 2011/12 but these results are not reported on here. The findings focus on comparative analysis of similarities and differences between students studying in Northern Ireland and in Great Britain, and between all Northern Ireland-domiciled students and all Great Britain-domiciled students, although we also conducted some exploratory analyses of the smaller groups of Northern Ireland students at GB HEIs and Great Britain students at Northern Ireland HEIs. In addition to reporting on the overall patterns identified, this article examines the experiences and aspirations of students who were studying Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths subjects compared to those studying non-STEM and, where possible, differences in experiences and attitudes according to social class background.
