Dr. Howells: [holding answer 28 February 2005]: The Department does not specifically collect information on the subjects
offered by each HE institution. The available information is taken from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) student record
and summarises the number of HE institutions with one or more enrolments at degree level in the given subject. Figures are given in
the table.
Number of UK HEIs1 with one or more first degree enrolment in the given subjects, 1994/95 to 2003/04

(a) mathematics (b) physics, (c) biology and (d) chemistry-related degrees was in each of the last 10
years. [218883]
Dr. Howells: [holding answer 28 February 2005]: The available information is given in the table. A new method of coding
subject was introduced on the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) student record in 2002/03, hence figures for 2002/03 onwards
are not directly comparable to earlier years.
