A year ending 2025 describes July 2024–June 2025. Do not add different years to estimate an entering class or current enrolment. Follow an institution's field link below to inspect the exact records.

These counts cover exact institution-ID matches to our connected directory, rather than a complete national total. Historical providers outside that population remain in the original source evidence and are not assigned invented matches. Read the population and archive rules →

Research the exact programme behind this field

CIP 24.0102 is a reporting classification. The official definition above explains its scope, while a university may use a different programme title. Related fields in classification family 24 can involve different curricula and award levels.

On the current institution website, record the exact degree title, campus, entry route, teaching language, curriculum and cycle. Compare those details with the classification definition before assuming that two similarly named degrees cover the same subject. For regulated professions, check the relevant licensing or recognition body's current requirements separately.

A positive award observation establishes historical activity in this classification. It does not confirm a current application opening, professional recognition, a specific delivery format or career outcome.
