Dear Ms Stewart-Liberty,

Thank-you for your request, received by the Royal Conservatoire of
Scotland. Our response is attached and is given with the following
context.

As requested, student numbers have been broken down by department (Drama,
Music, Learning and Teaching), level of study (PG - postgraduate, PGR –
postgraduate research, UG – undergraduate) and sex. The sex field
corresponds directly to the Sex Identifier HESA Field
([1]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/collection/c21051...). In this field the
sex of the student is recorded. The possible valid entries are male,
female and other.

The HESA rounding method has been applied to all data presented
([2]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/about/regulation/...).
This data was collated on 11/03/2022. This marks the point within the
2021-22 academic year up to which the numbers are accurate.

Students on courses which are not included in HESA returns have been
excluded from the data presented.

The registration status of students is tracked, and no exclusions based on
this field have been made for counting the total number of UG and PG
students enrolled in each academic year. Students that have a registration
status of suspended, withdrawn, termination of studies, or leave of
absence have been included in the count of undergraduate and postgraduate
students that dropped out, ceased, or interrupted their studies
unofficially or officially in each academic year.

I do hope this data satisfies your request in full, but please do let me
know if we can offer any further assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Caroline Cochrane
