As Singapore and the world reopens, this has led to changes, especially as people feel safe to travel abroad again. This has impacted us of course. We have seen an 8.9 percent drop in undergraduate applications from our 2022 high. This decline is due in no small part to the relaxation of travel restrictions. However, despite the drop, the quality of applications this year is similar or maybe even slightly better than the year before. In the end, we matriculated 884 students, above our target. This includes 38 scholarship recipients who accepted our offer, representing a record yield. We have also done well in our postgraduate recruitment. In fact, some of our programmes have done brilliantly and have exceeded our targets. These include our Master in Management, our part-time MBA, our full-time Master in Applied Finance and our Executive MBA.
