Please note: the following information does not contain any data for first degrees (such as BA, BSc, or Integrated Masters). Instead it is displaying information for other undergraduate qualifications – this includes CertHE, DipHE and FD among others

The data displayed is from students on courses in General, applied and forensic sciences.

This includes data from all courses in this subject at the same university or college. There was not enough data to publish more specific information – either because the course is new, or there are too few students. This does not reflect on the quality of the course.
