Bulletin Number Five 1983

Student Enrolment 1983—84 The growth in student enrolment at the University continues in 1983-84. Full-time undergraduate enrol­ ment grows from 4,520 to 4,710 while part-time undergraduates doubles in number, increasing from 139 to 290. On the other hand, the increase in post­ graduate enrolment is small, as the number increases from 1,002 to 1,016. The Faculty o f Medicine enrols another group o f pre-clinical students, bringing its student enrolment to 219. In this year, the first group o f medical students begins their clinical studies. The Departments o f Psychology and Statistics, which introduced their major programmes last year continue to admit their second class o f students; this accounts for the relatively large increase in their student numbers. Among the established departments, two o f them, Department o f Computer Science and Department o f General Business Management and Personnel Management, have a sizeable expansion in enrolment. In the area o f part-time undergraduate education, the three new programmes introduced last year, Chinese and English, Music and Business Administration, as well as the Social Work programme introduced the year before admit another group o f mature students, bringing the total enrolment to 290. This steady expansion is expected for the next several years as the existing part-time degree programmes extend to all six years o f study. A fter a considerable growth in enrolment last year, the postgraduate enrolment records only aminor increase this year. Enrolment in PhD programmes continues to grow from 13 in 1982-83 to 16 in 1983-84. I .
