Part 9 Limitations and caveats

• There is no reliable data available on Religion and Belief before 2017

• There is no data on academic staff from the OfS

• The raw data is structured such that student characteristics such as gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability status cannot be cross examined against each other, only across study characteristics, such as the level of education, subject area and mode of study.

• Figures only include students English HE providers/ universities

• Data is not available post 2021 yet

• Any subjects with fewer than 400 students, or less than 30 Muslim students at a given level and year are dropped from the interactive tools, since the percentage of Muslims is artificially bounded from below at 7.5% - which may be unrealistic.
