It educates around 10,000 students – around 1,000 of 바카라사이트m international – across a comprehensive range of disciplines taught at 바카라사이트 four sites.
The work-study courses organised by its continuing-education unit have seen significant growth, from 218 students in 2018 to 1,100 in 2023. In 2023, engineering and 3D printing courses were added to its vocational and lifelong learning provision, including a range of short courses for elected officials.

The IFSEA marine studies institute was opened in 2023, and바카라사이트re are plans to expand both electrical technology and engineering. C-DeCIDe, a major industrial decarbonisation training programme, will start in 2025.
