Students: Science

Volume 463: debated on Monday 10 September 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills how many and what percentage of students (a) under 21 and (b) over 21 years old studied (i) physics, (ii) chemistry, (iii) biochemistry, (iv) biological sciences, (v) psychology, (vi) sports science and (vii) other science subjects at (A) Oxbridge, (B) Russell Group institutions and (C) other higher education institutions at honours degree level in each of the last five years, broken down by socio-economic background. (149494)

The information is given in the separate tables. The figures are taken from data collected by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) which are limited to students who apply to full-time undergraduate courses via the UCAS application system. The figures do not therefore cover part-time students, nor those full-time students who apply directly to Higher Education Institutions.

Figures for Oxford and Cambridge Universities are not available because, for confidentiality reasons, UCAS do not release combinations of variables through which the data of individual institutions, or small groups of institutions, might be identifiable, beyond those already in the public domain.

Accepted applicants by age group, Socio-economic group, and science subject
