Kia ora

I acknowledge receipt of your email requesting further information as part of your original Official Information Act request dated 30 April 2024.

We have interpreted your request to be for:

1. The total number of law students enrolled at the University
2. The total number of law students enrolled at the University, broken down by year level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and above)
3. The total number of law students enrolled at the University, broken down by ethnicity (Asian, European, Māori, MELAA, Pasifika, Other)
4. The total number of law students enrolled at the University, broken down by gender (Male, Female, Gender Diverse)

You have requested that we provide all of the above information by headcount, rather than EFTS.

Could you please confirm that we have interpreted your request correctly? If there is anything further you are interested in receiving, or if we have misinterpreted your request, please let us know.

Ngā mihi

Thank you for that confirmation.

Having consulted with our analysts, they have requested one final piece of clarification before they proceed with collation on your request. Could you please confirm whether by "Law students", you are referring to:

(1) anyone taking at least one LAWS paper, regardless of programme, OR
(2) anyone enrolled in the LLB programme plus those enrolled in LAWS101? LAWS101 is considered separate because students from several different programmes can enrol in the paper. Students are then enrolled in the LLB proper from Second Year Law (year 2) onwards.
