(2) how many (a) girls and (b) boys applied to study (i) physics, (ii) chemistry, (iii) biochemistry, (iv) psychology and (v) sports science at (A) Oxbridge, (B) a Russell Group university and (C) other universities from (1) comprehensive schools, (2) further or higher education institutions, (3) grammar schools, (4) independent schools, (5) sixth form centres, (6) sixth form colleges and (7) other institutions in each of the last five years. [146417]

Bill Rammell: The available information is shown in the 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 Oxbridge 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.
