Currently waiting for a response from University of Waikato, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).

From: Andrew Lin

Dear University of Waikato,

I am requesting aggregated student enrolment data for the most recent full academic year available.

Please provide the data for each qualification major / subject area as reported in the University’s standard enrolment statistics (for example: Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Law, Nursing, Primary Teaching, Secondary Teaching, Political Science and International Relations, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, Mathematics, Data Analysis, and the various Science majors). Please include all majors currently or recently offered, including those with low enrolment numbers or that are being phased out.

This should include subjects across all faculties, including:

Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (including the languages taught at the University such as Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Te Reo)

Māori and Indigenous Studies and Te Reo Māori

Creative Industries (e.g., Screen & Media, Theatre Studies, Music)

Sciences (including Environmental and Earth Sciences)

Mathematics and Statistics

Engineering and Technology

Business and Management

Education and Teaching programmes

Law

Health-related programmes (e.g., Nursing, Health Science, Counselling, Sport & Exercise Science)

For each subject, please provide a breakdown of the total enrolled students by:

Ethnicity (using standard Stats NZ Level 1 and Level 2 categories)

Age band (using the University’s standard reporting age bands)

Gender (as recorded)

Domestic vs International student status

For domestic students: region of residence (or region of prior secondary school, if that is the standard reporting field)

Year level / stage of study (e.g., first-year, second-year, third-year, honours/postgraduate), using the University’s standard classification

Additionally, for each subject, please indicate:

How many students are enrolled in the subject as their primary major

How many are enrolled in the subject as an additional major (double major)

How many are enrolled in the subject as a minor
(Please use the University’s standard enrolment coding or categorisation for majors/minors.)

I am requesting aggregated data only, not individual-level records. If this data is already produced for internal reporting, MOE/TEC returns, or institutional dashboards, please provide the closest existing dataset.

If possible, please provide the data in CSV or Excel format.

If any part of this request would require substantial manual collation, please let me know what subset or format can be provided most readily and I am happy to refine the scope.

Best regards,
Andrew Lin
