Note: 
1. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have been defined by HEFCE as the sum of the cost centre groups: Anatomy and physiology, Biosciences, Chemistry, IT, system sciences and computer software engineering, Earth, marine and environmental sciences, General engineering, Civil engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electronic, electrical and computer engineering, Mechanical, aero and production engineering, Minerals, metallurgy and materials engineering, Mathematical sciences, Pharmacy and pharmacology, and Physics.
2. Subject information is shown as Full Person Equivalents (FPEs) in the table. FPEs are derived by splitting staff instances between the different subjects that make up their course aim.
