Data on applicants to nursing, midwifery and allied health profession courses as of the January application deadline was published by UCAS on 2 February 2017 and covers the period between 2013 and 2017. The primary set of statistics covers all applications in the UCAS Undergraduate scheme within this category.

Data prior to this is not held by the Department and may be available from UCAS.

For the January 2017 release, UCAS, for the first time also published a new subset of the sector-level reports for applicants to nursing courses (within subject group ‘B7’). These reports include applicants who have made at least one choice to a ‘B7’ nursing course but does not include a breakdown of Allied Health Professions data.

Students can still apply to study courses up until the middle of September.
