Dr. Howells: The available data held centrally on full-time and sandwich undergraduate students by social classes A to E are
provided in the table. Figures for full-time and sandwich students separately are not available. The table shows the numbers of
accepted applicants to full-time and sandwich courses in former polytechnics and colleges who apply through the Universities and
Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS); however not all full-time and sandwich undergraduate students in these institutions enter
through UCAS.
