Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2023
145. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science how many students were registered in TU Dublin (headcount and full-time equivalent) at the annual census dates (details supplied), based on returns by the university to his Department and to the HEA, since its establishment in 2019. [41764/23]
View answerThe number of students registered in TU Dublin, by programme type, are outlined in the table below. These figures are recorded on the HEA's Student Records System (SRS), and are as of 1st March of the relevant academic year. Enrolments increased significantly across the higher education system in 2020, as employment and other opportunities were curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At present, data from the 2021/22 academic year is the latest available and data for 2022/23 will be published in early October.
The SRS records the number of student enrolled, and whether they are full time or part time, but does not record "full-time equivalent" (FTE) student numbers. Detailed enrolment statistics are published on the Statistics section of the HEA's website.
