Notes:
1) According to the allocation to subjects.
2) As of 2015, there has been a change in the subject classification, so parts of the data are of limited comparability with the previous years. For more information see source. Subject group "Languages, cultural studies" has been renamed "Humanities". Former group "Veterinary medicine" has been added to group "Agricultural, forestry and nutritional sciences, veterinary medicine"; the values have been retrospectively adjusted to all years presented. The change in the subject classification from 2020 will only have a minor impact on comparability with previous years (see source).
3) Excluding clinic specific facilities.
4) Only human medicine.
