The dataset was generated from a set of Excel spreadsheets extracted from an Information and Communication Technology Services (ICTS) administrative database on student applications to the University of Cape Town (UCT). The data in this second part of the series contain information on applications to UCT made between January 2015 and September 2019.
In the original form received by DataFirst the data were ill suited to research purposes. The series represents an attempt at cleaning and organizing the data into a more tractable format.

The data are administrative records collected from application forms completed by those applying to study at the University of Cape Town
In order to lessen computation times the main applications file was split by year - this part contains the years 2014-2019. Note however that the other 3 files released with the application file (that can be merged into it for additional detail) did not need to be split. As such, the four files can be used to produce a series for 2014-2019 and are labelled as such, even though the person, secondary schooling and tertiary education files all span a longer time period.
Here is additional information about the files:
Further information on the processing of the original data files is summarised in a document entitled "Notes on preparing the UCT Student Admissions Data" accompanying the data.
