Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many UCAS applications there were to AHP courses in each of the last five years.

The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) publishes figures on the number of applications to subjects allied to medicine.

The latest data covering applications up to the end of the 2022 admissions cycle is available at: https://www.ucas.com/data-and-analysis/undergraduate-statistics-and-reports/ucas-undergraduate-end-cycle-data-resources-2022.

To access the figures, click on ‘Applications & offers’ under the ‘Sector’ heading, then select ‘Subject group – HECoS (detailed)’ from the drop-down box at the top of the page. The table then shows the number of main scheme applications to ‘(CAH02) subjects allied to medicine’. To select the full breakdown of subjects allied to medicine in the table, click on the + sign to the left of ‘(CAH02) subjects allied to medicine’. Note that figures are not available on a consistent basis prior to 2019.
