A decline of 500 enrolled undergraduate students compared to 2022-2023 was partially offset by a modest increase of 320 in the postgraduate student total. Nonetheless, the overall number of matriculated students across the University fell for the first time since 2015/16.

The statement follows an “extraordinary” JCR meeting held at 6:30pm on Saturday 15th March, just hours before the end of full term.
