8 College of Business and Economics | Annual Report 2018 CBE Enrolment Profile CBE’s subsidised undergraduate (UG) headcount enrolment decreased, largely in accordance with institutional enrolment planning, by a headcount of 406, from 16 861 in 2017 to 16 149 in 2018 (-4%). CBE’s non-subsidised undergraduate headcount enrolment in Continuing Education Programmes (CEPs) was grown from 5 664 in 2017 to 6 228 in 2018 (+10%). CBE’s PG headcount enrolment was stabilised from 2017 to 2018, according to supervision capacity, at about 2 900 enrolments, with PG enrolment below master’s level at a headcount of 1 950 students and master’s enrolment at 735 students. Our focus on increasing doctoral enrolment resulted in an increase from 169 to 201 candidates by 2019. Curriculum renewal and the development of new offerings in the postgraduate environment has resulted in a rich mix of honours, postgraduate diplomas, master’s and doctoral programmes that promote knowledge production and awareness in critical areas of society and the economy. In reimagining CBE impact, access to our best programmes was widened at the bottom of our educational pyramid (Higher Education Qualifications Framework Level 5) through a well- designed and sensibly articulated system into Levels 6 to 7.
