This information is not available by category of student.Notes:1. This is a single figure which includes all fee income, including short courses, self-financing full-cost courses funded by private/non-private sources and support grants in respect of all and only those students on courses for which fees are charged. It also includes income arising from courses provided for other bodies where the institution charges either a block fee to cover a specified number of students or a fee per individual student.
