Annex C

STUDENT NUMBERS

  Although the total number of students qualifying in Engineering (all domiciles and all levels of study) has been increasing in recent years, Engineering has lost ground in terms of the proportion of graduates in all subjects:

Notes:

    -  Figures cover students from all domiciles, on all levels of study and all modes of study.

    -  In 2002-03 the methodology for recording subject of study was changed on the student record. Aside from the introduction of a new coding frame, JACS (previously a system called HESACODE was used), students were apportioned between their subjects of study rather than being assigned on a headcount basis to their major subject. As such, comparisons between figures for 2001-02 and earlier and for 2002-03 onwards can not be made.
