Summary

Background to the collection of the statistics

  1. The tables show the total numbers of applications and acceptances for October 1999, excluding affiliated students and candidates for the B.Ed Degree and the B.A. in Education Studies. They exclude 364 applicants through UCAS who did not submit a preliminary application form.
  2. The figures refer to a single cohort of applicants, irrespective of the year of subsequent entry. All candidates are regarded as 1999 entrants although some may have deferred entry until a later date. Those who applied before 15 October 1997 and received a deferred offer for 1999 are also excluded.
  3. The acceptance figures include only those candidates who received a firm offer of a place. They exclude those applicants who received conditional offers upon performance at A-level (or equivalent examinations) who did not subsequently fulfil those conditions. Table 8 indicates the total number of conditional offers made.
  4. Percentages have been rounded up to the nearest whole number and totals do not always add up to 100.
