2. Prior to the 1992–93 financial year, Departmental records do not identify funding for teaching and research separately.
3. Amounts exclude tuition fees paid under the Northern Ireland Students' Awards Regulations.
4. The reduction in teaching and research funding between 1990–91 and 1991–92 is accounted for by the shift in funding from these areas to cover increases in tuition fees.
