Student Headcount Data

Overview

Current Academic Year

Previous Academic Year

Historical Data

Our Headcount figures simply count the number of people attending, making no differentiation between full time and part time modes. Note also that any student studying multiple Programmes (such as those students who have chosen to take the optional Service and Leadership Award) will count multiple times.

Here you can find the figures for the current academic year (by month), the previous academic year (by month) and trend data (for the end of each academic year).

All figures are as of the beginning of the month.
