Dear Mitchel matchbox
Official Information Act OIA 24.142 UC Student Numbers by Faculty 2024
I refer to the Official Information Act (the Act) request dated 1 September 2024 for information relating to
student numbers by Faculty in 2024 at the University of Canterbury (UC). You have specifical y requested:
•
I wish to request the number of students enrol ed by faculty at the University for the year ended 31
December 2024. This is total students, which includes undergraduates, postgraduates and part-time
students. The breakdown should be by faculty e.g., Faculty of Law, Faculty of Engineering, UC
Business School etc
The Information and Records Management team asked for clarification regarding if you were requesting the
headcount number of students for the Equivalent Full Time Student (EFTS) number. You confirmed that you
were requesting the headcount number of students.
Please find
overleaf the headcount number of students in each faculty by headcount. As the 2024 academic
year has not yet ended, the latest figures from 31 August 2024 have been provided. Please note that students can
be enrol ed in courses across multiple faculties simultaneously so wil be counted in each faculty they have at
least one course they are enrol ed in. Service Units in this context primarily means Te Kura Tāura (Graduate
School) but may also include other research units. Please note that there are other students that are not
identifiable by Faculty that are not included in these figures (e.g. UC Online.)
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
