WUR Stats
November 3, 2009
Yesterday I found a few interesting statistics from WUR. By the way, WUR is an acronym for Wageningen University & Research, I think.
There are 5,398 students in total. approximately 50% are at the bachelor level, 30% master and 20% PhD. Furthermore there are about 100 nationalities represented in the student population (25% of the total student base). I was startled by the small student base, and am interested in how they can finance such a university with all the research and capital expansion underway.
By way of contrast, the University of Guelph has approximately 10,000 students and UBC has 45,000 students at the Vancouver campus, with only about 20% on the graduate level.
Maybe I’ll update this post later. Right now it’s bedtime.
Goodnight!
