University of Galway student counts
Original Higher Education Authority (HEA) statistics hosted by Ireland's Central Statistics Office, dataset HEA02. These are historical student counts, not current course availability or admissions capacity. Institution names and codes follow this dataset's historical reporting scope; they do not establish current registration or reconstruct institution mergers.
The source reports academic years 2016 - 2017 through 2022 - 2023. Field categories retain their source codes. All fields is an aggregate: do not add it to individual fields. Missing values are shown as Not reported and remain distinct from a reported zero. No missing value is inferred as zero, and no admission or graduation rates are calculated.
