4. The University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology and University of Manchester have merged to become The University of Manchester.
   
   
5. The low participation neighbourhood indicators for the University of Hertfordshire (table series T1 and T2) have been omitted this year, as the postcode data is not an accurate reflection of the true situation.
   
   
6. Data quality issues have been identified by Liverpool John Moores University and as a result, their data has been suppressed in tables T3b and T3c.
   
   
7. It is known that undergraduate qualifications obtained were under-reported by the University of Abertay Dundee, which has an artificial adverse effect on this indicator. Consequently, the outcome figures in Table 5 have been suppressed.
   
   
8. The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama has pointed out that there are some missing qualifications for a batch of their students. Their outcomes have therefore been excluded from table T5.
   
   
9. Because of changes being made to their student record system, the projected outcomes for Wolverhampton University were badly affected this year. They have therefore been omitted from table T5.
   
   
10. Bell College and UHI Millennium Institute are relatively new to the sector and have insufficient data to produce accurate projected outcomes. Therefore, outcome figures for these two institutions have been excluded from table T5.
    
    
11. The number of qualifications awarded were under-reported by UHI Millennium Institute and as a result, their non-continuation data has been suppressed in table series T3.
    
    
12. Due to data quality issues, some of the figures for The North-East Wales Institute of Higher Education and Swansea Institute of Higher Education have been omitted from table T6.
    
    
13. Due to changes in coding and inconsistencies in the way a group of students were coded in 2002/03 and 2003/04, the projected outcomes for the University of Glamorgan have been excluded from table T5.
    
    
14. Due to data quality issues, the projected outcomes for Glasgow Caledonian University have been omitted from table T5.
