Notes for Information:

1. These statistics refer to applications for admission in the academic year 2015/2016, as of the 8 December 2015. The only courses relevant to these Graduate Admissions Office Statistics are the courses listed in the table below. For application data on other University of Cambridge graduate courses please contact the relevant admitting authority:

Institute of Continuing Education (MSt) www.ice.cam.ac.uk/ Judge Business School (MBA, eMBA and MFin) www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/home/ Faculty of Education (PGCE) www.educ.cam.ac.uk/

Statistics on student numbers can be found here: www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/planning/sso/studentnumbers/

2. The application cycle for each term ends on the Division of Term:

Admit Term Division of Term date

Michaelmas 2015 9th November 2015

Lent 2016 13th February 2016

Easter 2016 14th May 2016

3. Confirmation figures show those applicants who received confirmation of their place after

satisfying all their conditions set out in the offer stage, and who then subsequently took up their places on the course. Applicants who were confirmed but subsequently did not take up their University place are excluded.1

4. Home/EU/Overseas fee status is defined only at the point of offer as this classification is dependent on a variety of factors that require independent assessment based on the UKCISA guidelines. For the purpose of estimating numbers of applicants within fee status categories who did not receive an offer, the fee status has been assessed based on primary citizenship only. Applicants with islands or refugee fee status have been included for this broad reporting purpose as Overseas.

5. Research and 1 Year programmes are categorised as follows:

6. Research 1 Year Courses

Certificate of Postgraduate Studies (CPGS) Graduate Diplomas

Doctor of Education (EdD) Master in Law (LLM)

Doctor of Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Master of Corporate Law (MCL)

Doctor of Medicine (MD) Master of Advanced Study (MASt)

Masters of Letters (MLitt) Master of Education (Med)

Masters of Research (MRes) Master of Music (MMUS)

Masters of Science (MSC) Master of Philosophy (MPhil)2

1 As of 8

th December 2015 there were 81 applicants confirmed for admission who did not subsequently

arrive at the start of term. 2 A small number of MPhil courses are research MPhils. For the purposes of this report they are

classified as one year courses.
