Dear K H Ross
Official information request for number and funding levels of students
and other entities from the Peoples Republic of China
I refer to your requests for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) dated
2 October 2020 for:
The number of enrolled undergraduate students (part- and full-time) from the
Peoples Republic of China from 2010-2020
The total fees paid by undergraduate students from the Peoples Republic of China
from 2010-2020
The number of enrolled postgraduate students (part- and full-time) from the
Peoples Republic of China from 2010-2020
The total fees paid by postgraduate students from the Peoples Republic of China
from 2010-2020
The total amount of research funding received from institutions/entities who are
headquartered or based in the Peoples Republic of China
Numbers of students enrolled and fees paid
Please see the table below which shows the numbers of enrolled undergraduate and
postgraduate students from the People’s Republic of China and the total fees paid by
those students (excluding GST), from 2010–2020. Please note that this data is current
as of
29 October 2020.
Students are counted multiple times when the data is broken down by years and
qualification levels, so the Grand Total of the ‘Headcount’ columns is higher than the
number of distinct students. The number of distinct students enrolled across all these
years and qualification levels is 3554.
