UNISTATS Compare Course data Legend No data available: There are not enough data available for this item to give specific information for the course. It may be because the course size is small, or because it is a new course. This does not reflect on the quality of the course.

For example, if the course was in Forestry, information for all agricultural and related subjects at the institution might be shown. Estimated data: These data are based on the modules the institution expects students to take rather than actual module choices. 31
