"1) First enrolment. Data are not identical to the number of total first-year students at higher education institutions in table 1.9.6. Until 2012, demarcation pursuant to ISCED 1997 level 5A; as of 2013, demarcation pursuant to ISCED 2011 level 6 sub-category 645 and level 7 sub-category 746. Until 2016, ISCED 645 excluding vocational academies, as the corresponding data was only fully collected starting from 2017.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
2) Allocation of study areas to subject groups pursuant to the subject classification of the higher education statistics version 2015. For comparative purposes the results were calculated back to 2005.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3) Net rates according to the OECD calculation method (Therefore the number of first-time entrants of that age is divided by the total population of the corresponding age. These age-specific entry rates are added up to net entry rates.).,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
