Abstract
Using quantitative data from the Futuretrack project, as well as new semi-structured interviews, we assess the experiences of student mothers aged 21 or over, examining their applications to HE, their experiences within HE and their early labour market outcomes. In particular, we examine choice of courses and places of study; aspirations on entry into HE and whether these change over time; why some student mothers drop out of HE; and the key factors which help or hinder the overall HE experience, all of which are compared with other students from the same cohort. Crucially, the analysis also examines whether HE increases social mobility for student mothers and their families.
