Postgraduate - Class Sizes

I've been accepted to study Data Science at postgraduate level starting in September. I'm just curious as to what the typical postgraduate class size is?

My class size in my undergraduate program was fairly small, so just wondering whether I should expect it to be even smaller or around the same size.

Hey!
Congrats on getting accepted into the Data Science postgraduate program starting in September! To be honest, class size can vary quite a bit depending on the program and the university. Speaking from my own experience as a design management student, our lectures typically have around 150 students, while our seminars have around 25 students. However, I know that there are other courses at my university where class sizes can be as low as 15 or as high as 250 students.

That being said, for postgraduate programs like Data Science, you might expect the class sizes to be smaller than in undergraduate programs. This is because postgraduate programs tend to be more specialized, and therefore attract a smaller cohort of students. However, this can vary depending on the popularity of the program and the size of the university.

Overall, I would say that class size is just one factor to consider when choosing a postgraduate program. The quality of the teaching, the curriculum, and the resources available are all important factors to consider as well. I hope this helps!
