1. The applications digest lists the number of applications to individual universities and colleges recruiting students through UCAS for higher education courses starting in autumn 2005 (or the following year for those applying for deferred entry).

2. The data shown are counts of the applications to courses offered via UCAS together with the percentage change based upon the same point in last year's cycle. Separate counts for "Degree" (which include first degree, Diploma of Higher Education, university diploma, foundation degree, some Social Work postgraduate degree and some Social Work part-time course applications) and for "HND" (which include HND and HNC applications) are also provided together with the relevant percentage changes. Cells are shown as "-" if an institution does not offer "Degree" or "HND" courses or did not receive any applications to such course types. Comparisons are not possible for institutions that joined UCAS for 2005 entry. The figures for 2005 are for all applications (from both UK and overseas applicants) made during the current cycle (since September 2004), and include applications for entry deferred to 2006. (They exclude applications made in previous years for entry this year or next.)

3. The Key to the column "Changed" in the table and the dataset is as follows:

A: Additional Institutions for 2005 (new UCAS member institutions)

E: Expanded Institutions for 2005 (as a result of merger, subsuming of other UCAS member institution(s), or recruiting for UCAS member institution(s) that have now left the UCAS scheme).

R: Renamed and recoded for 2005 (UCAS institution code changed as a result of name change).

N: No change.

Where changes have occurred, the 2004 data has been combined so that the nearest like for like comparison can be made.

4. The following institutions have merged or been combined for 2005, the 2004 data have combined for these to permit comparisons:

Barnfield College (previously B09) is recruiting through University of Luton (L93)

St Loye's School of Health Studies (previously S54) is recruiting through University of Plymouth (P60).

Yeovil College (previously Y25) is recruiting through Bournemouth University (B50).

University of Wales College of Medicine (previously W10) and Cardiff University (C15) have combined to form a single institution: Cardiff University (C15).

The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) (previously M25) and The University of Manchester (The Victoria University of Manchester) (M20) have combined to form a single institution: The University of Manchester (M20)

Oxford College of FE (previously O30), Oxfordshire School of A&D (previously O80), Rycotewood College (previously R95) and North Oxfordshire College (non-UCAS) have combined to form a single institution: Oxford and Cherwell College (O25).

5. The type ("Degree" or "HND") 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. All route B applications are included, whether referred to institutions or not.

6. The data refers to applications, NOT applicants. The total number of applicants who had applied by 15 January 2005 was 384,624, compared to 353,171 at 15 January 2004.

7. For 2005, applicants made an average of 5.04 applications each compared with an average of 5.02 at the same point last year.

8. The number of applications to an institution can sometimes change significantly from one year to the next due to the addition, withdrawal or merger of courses, changes in entry requirements or local factors not recorded by UCAS.
