The current staff:student ratio in Universities is 25:1. This is calculated based on the 2016/17 enrolment figures. This is based on the ratio of full time students to core teaching staff.
A one point reduction would require an estimated additional 190 FTE academic staff – estimated cost €11m per annum.
