Record Number of Students

In 2025, the to­tal num­ber of stu­dents (exclu­ding stu­dents in Mas­ter of Ad­vanced Stu­dies pro­grams) rose to 28,785 (+309), there­by sur­pas­sing the pre­ce­ding highest value of the pre­vi­ous year. Two thirds of this in­crease is due to the ri­sing num­ber of stu­dents at the Fa­cul­ty of Busi­ness, Eco­no­mics and In­for­ma­tics.
