Places are not allocated on a quota basis to men or women, or to home or overseas students. Statistics of admissions for the 1976–77 academic year are, therefore, not available. By 31st March 1976 there had been 11,941 applicants through UCCA but this figure is not comparable with the totals for previous years.
