(1) Young refers to entrants aged under 21. (2) Covers entrants to both full-time and part-time courses. (3) Local authority is derived from postcode. Those with missing or invalid postcodes will be coded as missing. (4) Figures exclude the Open University due to inconsistencies in their coding of entrants across the time series. Note:
Figures are on a snapshot basis as 1 December. Figures have been rounded to the nearest five, so components may not sum to totals. Source:
