Gender information for 1990/91 not available.
⁽²⁾ population estimates have been updated due to revisions by GROS
⁽³⁾ FE data revised from 1998/99. Due to a particularly high level of missing data in FEC student returns in 1998/99, headcount estimates for this year are likely to be less robust than the estimates for 1999/00 and 2000/01. However, these are the best estimates given the data available
