7New enrolled students
There are not numerus clausus from 1999 (80),
so, all the students who like to enrol them are
admitted.
Number of new enrolled students
- The number of new enrolled students is
decreasing, as it happens in almost all the
Faculties of Mathematics in Spain. Some of the
reasons for this decreasing could be - Birth rate index is progressively decreasing.
- The number of different graduations at the
University of Oviedo is increasing. - Students consider these studies too difficult
according to the average difficulty of other
studies.

28Problems with the elective and free choice courses
- Since an student can choose any subject from 11
possible subjects as elective or free choice
courses, the timetable of the 4th year is really
crazy for students.
