Footnotes
- EEA national relates to individuals from within the European Union, European Economic Area or those included in the single market - this includes Swiss nationality. The UK is not included in these figures.
- Percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
- Figures for 2024/25 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2023/24 and all previous years have been revised.
- Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures prior to 2021/22.
- Sex other: Sex was previously reported as gender. This has been updated as it was previously mislabelled. From 2021/22, trainees who chose not to provide data on sex have been included in an 'unknown' category. Prior to this they were included in 'other'.
- The 2023/24 revised and 2024/25 provisional data does not contain forecast trainees, this is due to a change in data collection methodology.
- Undergraduate: The majority of undergraduate provision is offered by higher education institutions.
- Degree Class: 2:1 includes undivided 2nd.
- Total with known degree: excludes trainees whose degree classes are unknown, therefore please consider the impact of the number of unknowns when considering data trends.
- Other degree class: includes international degrees which have different grading classes, degree classes below 2:2, and other. It excludes trainees whose degrees classed as not known or not applicable.
- Age groups: are based on the ages of new entrants on the day of the census, 10 October 2024. Ages are rounded down to the nearest year, for example, a trainee aged 29.5 is placed in the 25-29 age group.
- Disability Status: Data is based on known cases and exclude those where disability status is unknown, therefore please consider the impact of the number of unknowns when considering data trends.
- Ethnicity: Data is based on known cases and exclude those where ethnicity is unknown or not declared, therefore please consider the impact of the number of unknowns when considering data trends.
- Prior to 2017/18, trainees who did not identify as Male or Female were reported as "Female". From 2017/18 onwards, they are not included as "Female".
- Other ethnicity includes Arab and Other ethnic background.
- Proportions exclude trainees where information was not supplied, or where characteristics/information were reported as ‘unknown’.
- Data was extracted on 19 November 2024.
- Numbers for entrants are slightly decreased for 2024/25. This is because records for approximately 100 trainees from a provider were not submitted in time for inclusion in these statistics. We intend to update the figures to include these trainees in an amendment in early 2025.
