  4. The University of Cambridge has taken the opportunity of a new student record system to review the recording of student data. This change prevented the submission of data suitable for presentation at an institutional level in this year's publication. A full set of data will be included next year. Any queries on this should be addressed to the Head of the Planning and Resource Allocation Office at The University of Cambridge. Please note that although institution-level data for The University of Cambridge has not been presented separately in this year's Performance Indicators tables, their data is included in the UK and England totals.

  5. The figures for Heriot-Watt University are known to be incorrect in table T7 as a substantial proportion of students in receipt of Disabled Student Allowance were not identified as such on the HESA student record.

  6. Due to data quality issues, some of the figures for University of Glamorgan have been omitted from table T6.

  7. Robert Gordon have under-reported the number of other undergraduate qualifications awarded and hence the proportion projected to 'neither award nor transfer' in table T5 has been inflated.

  8. Due to the misleading effect of the small base population, data for UHI Millennium Institute has been excluded from the Employment Indicator table E1.
