Notes:

  1. The applications digest lists the number of applications (main scheme choices) made by applicants to individual universities and colleges recruiting students through UCAS for higher education courses starting in autumn 2012 (or the following year for those applying for deferred entry).
  2. The data shown are counts of the choices made in the UCAS main scheme to courses together with the associated percentage changes based upon the same point in last year's cycle. Separate counts for "Degree", Foundation Degree ("FDG") and "Other" - (which includes choices to Higher National Diploma, Higher National Certificate, Certificates of H.E., Diplomas of H.E. courses, including those in social work, midwifery and nursing, and some postgraduate courses in social work) are provided. Cells are shown as "-" if an institution does not offer "Degree", "FDG" or "Other" courses or did not receive any choices to such course types. Comparisons are not possible for institutions that joined UCAS for 2012 entry. Numbers attaching to institutions that have totally withdrawn from UCAS membership this year are not included. The figures for 2012 are for choices (from both UK and overseas domiciled applicants) made during the current cycle (since September 2011) up to the 15 January closing date, they include choices made on a deferred basis for entry in 2013 (choices made in previous entry cycles on a deferred entry basis are not counted in the 2012 numbers).
  3. The Key to the column "Changed" in the table is as follows:

    "A" :- Additional Institutions for 2012 (new UCAS member institutions)

    "E" :- Expanded Institutions for 2012 (relates to the consolidation of two or more UCAS institution codes into a single code, normally as a result of merger or the institution concerned now recruiting on behalf of an institution that has left the membership of UCAS).

    "R" :- Renamed and recoded for 2012 (UCAS institution code changed for 2012 cycle as a result of a change in the institutional name or title. Note: those changes in name or title which have not resulted in a change of institutional code are shown as "N" or "No Change").

    "N" :- No change in the UCAS institution code.

  4. The type ("Degree", "FDG" or "Other") is based on the current course choice, which may differ from the course choice to which the applicant originally applied e.g. if the latter was invalid, or if a change of course offer has been made.
  5. The data refers to applications (choices), NOT applicants. The total number of applicants who had applied by the 15 January 2012 deadline was 540,073, compared to 583,546 at 15 January 2011 deadline.
  6. For 2012 the average number of main scheme choices made by applicants as at the 15 January closing date was 4.39. This compared with an average of 4.35 at the same point last year.
  7. The number of choices made to an institution can sometimes change significantly from one year to the next due to changes in the range or nature of courses offered by institutions together with any changes in demand from applicants. Where institutions have relatively small numbers of applications, large percentage changes in choices from one year to the next can arise from small changes in the number of choices. The percentage change figures should always be viewed in the context of the number of choices, and care taken in interpreting percentage changes for institutions where the base of applications is small.
  8. From 2010 entry, ex-CATCH courses have been included in UCAS and Route B was abolished.
