Number of students and graduates

Key to figures

Population
The number of students registered in standard fashion who are either active or on leave. Students registered under more than one subject are included under the subject in which they have voting rights, ensuring that they are only included once.
Bachelors
Students who are included in the population and registered on a Bachelor’s degree programme.
Masters
Students who are included in the population and registered on a Master’s degree programme.
Others
Students who are included in the population and registered as Dental Hygienists, Clinical Dental Hygienists or credit module students.
Study starters
The number of students admitted via KOT (Coordinated Registration Service) or in other ways who are active or on leave. Students registered previously on the same subject are not included under study starters.
Admitted via KOT (Coordinated Registration Service)
The number of students admitted via KOT (Coordinated Registration Service) and registered for the current year who are either active or on leave as of 1st October (base date). This base date applies to subjects starting in the winter (registration as of 1st February, 1st March). For students starting in the winter, the year of registration and KOT admission is staggered due to the various points in time at which figures are calculated.
Leave
The number of students on leave on the base date. Students registered under more than one subject are included under the degree programme in which they have voting rights.
Study units
The number of students registered in standard fashion who are either active or on leave. Students in this category may be included under two different subjects if they are registered on both a main subject and a subsidiary subject, for instance.

General points

  • Exchange and programme students, students holding visiting cards, students under the Open University programme and PhD students are not included in the figures. However, PhD students who are also registered for Master’s degree programmes are included in the categories “Population” and “Study Units”.
  • Voting rights are placed automatically at the highest level. For instance, voting rights are placed automatically at main subject and Master’s level rather than at subsidiary subject and Bachelor’s level. Students are entitled to transfer their voting rights to their subsidiary subject, for instance.
