Request for enrollment statistics of Chinese students by level of study and by gender
Dear University of Melbourne,
I am writing to kindly request a detailed breakdown of enrollment statistics, with a particular focus on the annual enrollment of Chinese students.
Specifically, I would like to obtain enrollment data for students holding Chinese nationality (excluding those from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) from the academic years 2015/2016 to 2023/2024. Within each academic year, the data should be categorized by level of study, such as undergraduate, Master’s by Coursework, and Doctorate by Research. Furthermore, within each level of study, a further breakdown by gender would be greatly appreciated, forming a two-tier classification structure.
This data is of great significance, and I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Wei Rui

Dear foi-officer,
I have completed the payment for the FOI application fee. The order number is AM000446794. Please confirm receipt of the payment at your convenience.
Regarding my FOI request, I would like to clarify that my primary objective is to obtain enrollment data for students holding Chinese nationality (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) from the academic years 2015/2016 to 2023/2024. Ideally, I would like the data to be categorized as follows:
1.By level of study
2.By gender within each level of study (if available).
However, if a gender breakdown is not available, I would still appreciate receiving the total number of Chinese students enrolled for each academic year, at least categorized by level of study.
Please let me know if further clarification is needed. I sincerely appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Wei Rui
