Footnotes

These statistics are classified as official statistics in development, which is a temporary label for new statistics that are undergoing development and testing. They are provisional and subject to change.
Data was extracted on 17 November 2023.
High Potential ITT (HPITT) route is not included in this data.
Percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
Total candidates: the total number of candidates that applied to postgraduate ITT for courses that start in the given time period.
Total accepted candidates: the total number of candidates who have accepted an offer to start ITT in the given cycle. This includes candidates who deferred an offer from a previous cycle. Withdrawn applications and deferrals into the next cycle have been excluded.
Percentage of accepted candidates on ITT route: for each subject, the percentage of accepted candidates for a given route.
In-cycle acceptance rate: in-cycle accepted candidates / total candidates.
In-cycle accepted candidates: the total number of candidates who have accepted an offer to start ITT in the given cycle, regardless of whether they withdraw or defer afterwards. This excludes candidates who deferred an offer from a previous cycle.
The in-cycle acceptance total and the acceptance rate are not shown in cases where candidate numbers are fewer than 30. Where small numbers are present, the acceptance rate can be volatile and potentially misleading.
Subject-level candidate totals will not sum to the total candidate number due to duplication caused by candidates applying for multiple subjects.
EBacc Subjects are English, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, History, Geography, Computing and Classics.
Others includes media and communication studies, social studies, citizenship and psychology.
STEM Subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Mathematics and Physics.
