Celebrating success for Kaplan students in 2023

We’re so pleased to announce some great news: progression rates for our graduating class of 2023 are available and our hard-working students achieved amazing academic results.

2023 progression rates 

We’re proud of how many Kaplan students pass their pathway course at the required level and progress to their first-choice university every year. In 2023, more than 6,000 students passed their UK pathway course!

In a testament to their hard work and the dedication of their tutors, 91% of Kaplan-recruited students passed their course. Out of that 91%, a brilliant 95% of students received an unconditional offer from their first-choice university.

Plus, an amazing 100% of students who passed their International Year One course at the required level received an unconditional offer from their first-choice university!

For those few students who didn’t progress to their first-choice university, friendly staff are on hand talk them through their options, and help them find a path that’s right for them.

A fantastic achievement

We think all of our students deserve a big round of applause! Not only do these results demonstrate how hard they worked, but how quickly they adapted to new ways of learning.

Their tutors have worked incredibly hard too, delivering engaging, interactive lessons to ensure all their students have a rewarding educational experience.
