I propose to take Questions Nos. 418 and 419 together.
The following table shows data on Postgraduate research (1st year enrolments and all postgraduate 1st year enrolments) for the years 2010/11 and 2011/12. The data shows that the number of 1st year Research enrolments (Masters and Phd) increased from 1,862 in 2010/11 to 2,156 in 2011/12 which represents an overall increase of 16%. The number of 1st year postgraduates (research and taught) remained stable in the same time period. The provisional Postgraduate enrolments for 2012/13 will not be available until mid December.
