Mixed mode study provides the possibility for students to follow a single programme of studies by switching between full-time and part-time in keeping with their current personal situation. It has been available within some schemes in the UK Public Sector HE system for about a decade. Possibly because of the limited numbers involved and its incorporation within large full-time schemes, very little data have been published on its impact. Nevertheless mixed mode study has many potential attractions which deserve to be more widely understood and evaluated. This paper attempts to evaluate the situation since 1982 for one scheme, where the prime usage of mixed mode study has, to date, been to redeem previous underachievement. Comparisons are made with national data on part-time degree provision. The paper concludes with a summary of possible trends in mixed mode provision following recent developments in credit accumulation, assessment of prior learning and learning contracts
