National datasets show the sub-set of data relating to applicants from each country.

Applicants are classified according to the subject listed most frequently on the application form. For some subjects this creates the impression that there are more people accepted than applied. Acceptances are classified according to the subject of acceptance.

For statistical purposes, Clearing accepts include those accepted through UCAS Extra and direct entrants, unless otherwise stated.

For statistical purposes, Degree includes Foundation degrees, unless otherwise stated.
