Information is only available on the subject studied for the highest (degree level) qualification held by individuals who studied single subject degrees only. Those who initially gain a degree in one subject but go on to acquire a higher degree in another will only have the subject of their higher degree recorded. There is also insufficient detail on the subjects studied for those who studied combined degrees (e.g. Maths and French). Thus the data will underestimate the numbers of individuals with a degree in Mathematics, Computer Science or Physics. From the Labour Force Survey Q3 2011 data (covering the period July to September 2011), estimates of the numbers of individuals in the UK who studied a single subject degree in Physics, Maths or Computer Science for their highest qualification (split by type of highest degree) are as follows:

	Highest Qualification
Subject	First Degree	Doctorate	Masters
All	4,394,000	332,000	1,358,000
Physics	59,000	20,000	19,000
Maths	130,000	12,000	37,000
Computer Science	219,000	12,000	82,000

	Highest Qualification
Subject	First Degree	Doctorate	Masters
Physics	1.3%	6.0%	1.4%
