The line graph illustrates the number of students enrolled in four university courses, namely Science, Engineering, Humanities and Business, between 2015 and 2020.
Overall, student enrolment increased in Engineering, Humanities and Business over the period, whereas Science followed the opposite trend after reaching a peak in 2017. Although Engineering remained one of the most popular subjects throughout the period, Business experienced the most dramatic growth and finished the timeframe with almost the same number of students.
At the beginning of the period, Engineering had the highest enrolment, with approximately 1,500 students, followed by Science at around 1,200. Humanities attracted roughly 700 students, while Business was the least popular course, with only about 400 students. Between 2015 and 2017, Science rose considerably, peaking at approximately 1,800 students. During the same period, Humanities increased steadily to around 1,200 students, whereas Business more than doubled its enrolment, reaching nearly 900 students.
After 2017, the trends changed noticeably. Science declined continuously, falling from its peak to just over 1,100 students by 2020. In contrast, Engineering maintained a gradual upward trend, increasing steadily to approximately 1,900 students in the final year. Business, however, fluctuated considerably: after dropping sharply to around 600 students in 2018, it rose dramatically to about 1,700 in 2019 and finished the period at roughly 1,800 students. Meanwhile, Humanities continued to grow at a moderate pace, ending the period at around 1,500 students. Together, these trends resulted in Engineering remaining the largest course, while Business recorded the most remarkable overall increase and Science became the least popular subject by the end of the timeframe.
