Since the course began at Surrey University in 1992, there have been 105 graduates from the course; 81 from when the course moved to Liverpool University in 1994. There are currently 30 students on the course. Of all the students, sixty were male, and seventy-five were female, from varying nationalities and occupational backgrounds.

The current ongoing internal analysis was commissioned to organise the demographic data and background information in an attempt to identify possible trends.

The following analyses on year numbers, gender and nationality of the students were conducted using information from all of the previous years, including the present one, thus 92/93-99/00 inclusive.

The analyses on dissertation area, dissertation topic and career paths were done using information from the years 92/93-98/99 inclusive. The year 99/00 was not included due to ongoing work.

Tables of the actual numbers represented in the graphs can be found here.
