Notes

CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 2.32. Compiled by University Grants Commission. University Admissions by Academic Stream and Ethnicity, 2017/18-2023/24. Periods are academic years (freq A), dated at the first year. 'Total' is the cross-ethnicity total, kept as its own printed row rather than summed from the four (verified against the sum, 65 stream-year checks, 7 failures - see below); some 'Total' row academic years carry a footnote (e.g. '2020/21(e)') documenting students excluded because their ethnicity was not available. Known source error, kept as printed: for 2017/18 only, the 'Other' ethnicity row's Law/Science/Medicine/Dentistry cells (43/338/128/6) are identical to the 'Moor' row's cells for the same four columns, while 'Other's own other columns that year are all single or low double digits - a copy-paste duplication onto the 'Other' row, not a real count; it inflates the four-ethnicity sum for those columns and years above the sheet's own printed 'Total' row by the same amounts.
