Accepted applicants to languages and related by region, gender and institution (Source: UCAS). Please see my post on using UCAS data before making any conclusions. In short UCAS data looks at the overall subject preference of applicants which was not necessarily not the course they are on. Joint degrees and major/ minor degrees present difficulties in this regard.
