At the University of California, Santa Barbara, about 20 percent of incoming students are transfers. More than 90 percent of those transfers come from California community colleges and aspire to complete their degree in two years. While many have achieved that goal, they often lacked time to explore campus offerings or felt pressured to complete their degree on an expedited timeline, according to institutional data.

Tens of thousands of students will be left without a suitable pathway to employment as a result of government plans for post-16 vocational courses, a report has said. The warning comes as the government plan to withdraw funding for a number of applied general qualifications (AGQs), such as BTecs. The uptake of the government's technical courses (T-levels) also remains low.
