1. Includes individuals for whom sex was not reported.
2. New field of study.
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, all counts are randomly rounded to a multiple of 3. Since the total and subtotals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values.Graduates are shown by province of study. Field of study was updated for years 1998/1999 to 2006/2007 for several institutions.This table includes categories for university diplomas/certificates below or above bachelor's degree and is thus not comparable with Table D.2.3. For Quebec institutions, qualifications awarded do not include micro programs and attestations.
