Subject: Official Information request - Student Enrolment Data by Subject
 
[You don't often get email from

important at [2]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

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)

Mâori and Indigenous Studies and Te Reo Mâori

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
