2) The scores/percentages of successful(that received an offer) applicants in their Engineering Admissions Assessment in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 admissions cycle (without revealing the personal information about individual candidates, such as name and school, thus providing the data in an anonymous way e.g. candidate 1,2 etc.) and their interview scores
3) The average Maths and Further Maths UMS scores of individual successful candidates who received an offer in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 admissions cycles.(without revealing the personal information about individual candidates, such as name and school, thus providing the data in an anonymous way e.g. candidate 1,2 etc.)
