UCAS</strong></p><p><strong>1. This analysis uses country specific age definitions
that align with the cut off points for school and college cohorts within the different
administrations of the UK. For England, ages are defined on the 31<sup>st</sup> August.
Defining ages in this way matches the assignment of children to school cohorts.</strong></p><p>
</p><p>The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data on
students at UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The number of young (under 21)
entrants to UK HEIs who were domiciled in York Central constituency and York Local
authority prior to starting their course is shown in Table 2. HESA figures for 2013/14
will be available in January 2015. There are differences in the coverage of UCAS and
HESA: the UCAS figures cover applicants to HEIs, Further Education Colleges (FECs),
and Alternative Providers (APs) of higher education in the UK; the HESA figures cover
HEIs only, plus the University of Buckinghamshire. Not all applicants apply via UCAS:
some apply directly to institutions. In addition, some applicants who obtain a place
via UCAS opt to defer entry until the following year.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table
