  1. Counts are based on full-person-equivalents. Where a student is studying more than one subject, they are apportioned between the subjects that make up their course. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 5, in line with HESA rounding conventions, information on HESA rounding is available at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/support/definitions/students#rounding-and-suppression-strategy. Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
  2. Information on qualifiers by principal HECoS code is published by HESA as part of their Open Data Pages Table 54, available at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-54. As of 2019/20, the Higher Education Classification of Subjects (HECoS) was introduced which means that the figures found in the table below are not directly comparable with years prior to 2019/20.
