City of Glasgow College Annual Report & Accounts 2019-20
SIMD
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) identifies small area
concentrations of multiple deprivations across Scotland
via postcode. Postcodes are divided into 5 quintiles with
quintile 1 representing the 20% most deprived postcode
areas in Scotland. The table below compares full time
applications and full-time enrolments by quintile and location
i.e. Glasgow region and other (outwith Glasgow).
The data is consistent with previous year trends and shows
that the College attracts a high number of applications
and students from those residing in quintile 1 areas with
significant numbers from the Glasgow area. However,
applicants from the least deprived areas are more likely to
enrol.
