The position is that current data are only available in respect of students enrolled in third level part-time courses provided by HEA supported public institutions. I understand from the HEA that in the current academic year there are approximately 22,000 students enrolled in third level part-time courses ranging from level 6 to level 10 on the National Framework of Qualifications.
