An en dash means no figure: either the school or college is not in that university’s table for the year, or the year is outside the tables held here (Oxford 2006 to 2023, Cambridge 2009 to 2025).
How to read these figures
- A cycle is the UCAS application year. The 2023 cycle is for entry in autumn 2023, or deferred entry a year later.
- These are applications made through this school’s or college’s UCAS centre. They are not a share of its year group, and an offer is not a place taken up.
- Oxford printed every count of three or fewer, including zero, as <3. A <3 can mean none.
- Cambridge printed counts from one to three as <4 in its 2009 to 2012 tables; a zero was printed as 0.
- Cambridge printed every count of two or fewer, including zero, as <3 in its 2013 to 2023 tables. A <3 can mean none.
- † In its 2024 and 2025 tables Cambridge prints any count from one to five as 5; a zero is printed as 0.
- Names change. The UCAS centre number ties the years together; the name shown is the latest one printed.
