4. Confirmation figures show those applicants who received confirmation of their place after
satisfying all their conditions set out in the offer stage, and who then subsequently took up their places on the course. Applicants who were confirmed but subsequently did not take up their University place are excluded.1
5. Home/EU/Overseas fee status is defined only at the point of offer as this classification is dependent on a variety of factors that require independent assessment based on the UKCISA guidelines. For the purpose of estimating numbers of applicants within fee status categories who did not receive an offer, the fee status has been assessed based on primary citizenship only. Applicants with islands or refugee fee status have been included for this broad reporting purpose as Overseas.
6. Research and Taught programmes are categorised as follows:
7. Research Taught Courses
Certificate of Postgraduate Studies (CPGS) Graduate Diplomas
Doctor of Education (EdD) Master in Law (LLM)
Doctor of Business (BusD) Master of Corporate Law (MCL)
