In 2023, the number of males pursuing a master’s or equivalent level, including study periods and/or work placements, stood at 34. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast shows gradual growth. The numbers remain stable at 35 for the first two forecasted years, then slowly increase to 36 in 2026 and 37 in 2027 and 2028. The year-on-year growth rates indicate a steady but modest increase over the later years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impact of educational policies on master’s program enrollments.
Changing labor market demands affecting the popularity of certain fields.
Increasing use of remote learning platforms and their influence on student numbers and demographics.
