Social Sciences, Business & Law is the most popular discipline for postgraduate study, particularly at the Masters Degree level. The most popular PhD discipline is Science with over half of all PhD enrolments in that discipline Computer Science is the most popular Science discipline at Masters Degree level (as it was for undergraduate IoT enrolments) The decline in Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma courses is mainly in the discipline area Law. From the data it appears that the majority of these courses are now being classified as Masters Degree courses SECTION FOUR / POSTGRADUATE ENROLMMENT DATA Table 4.8 Full-Time Postgraduate Enrolments 06/07 Vs 05/06 for Institutes of Technology & Dublin Institute of Technology (IoTs) Field of Study by Selected ISCED Grand Total 06/07 Grand Total 05/06 Education Science 45 27 Humanities and Arts 152 134 Social Science, Business and Law 673 639 Science 397 209 Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction 173 176 Health and Welfare 14 1 Services 111 109 Combined 0 30 Totals 1,565 1,325 Red cell indicates a decline in new entrants from the previous year while green indicates an increase.
