Professor Frank Monahan:

Yes. As the Deputy may have seen from the briefing document, we have almost 700 students in China. We have three programmes operating there and we have recruited academics to teach in that country for one semester. The advantage for us is they then come back and are with us for the rest of the year. One of the challenges we have in recruiting international students in agriculture is that the Irish context makes it more challenging for non-EU students to come to us. The science, engineering and business faculties can recruit more international students than we can because the degrees in those areas are more generic and translate more easily across the globe. About 11% of our students are still non-EU, and we are trying to increase this percentage. It obviously helps us from a funding perspective and increases the diversity of the student body. Equally, about 30% of our students go abroad as well on exchanges.
