Following the release of the government’s proposed enrolment caps for 2025, we take a deeper look at the uneven impact of the caps across public universities.
On September 6, 2024, officials from the Australian Department of Education tabled data on the proposed enrolment caps for individual public institutions that the government intends to impose as part of the ESOS Bill currently before parliament.
The caps – referred to as indicative student profiles (ISPs) – vary to a large degree across institutions and attracted much criticism for being Somewhat random during the third day of senate hearings on the ESOS Bill last week (September 6).
Collectively, public universities will be able to enrol up to a maximum of 145,200 commencing onshore international students in 2025.
