Lots. Had more to begin with, then lost some each year, the product designers have been separated from Transport (us).
Basically the Uni subsidises other less popular courses by admitting more to our course.*
*this is just what I've been told. I am unsure of the validity of this statement.

We're being trained to counter attacks on the senses from the likes of Fiat Multiplas, Daewoo Tacumas etc... it takes a large army.
In actual fact, we're all going into our own particular areas, I'm going into computer modelling and possibly clay work.

Unless there's some really good reason to run loss making courses, they wouldn't. They'll certainly want all courses to be profitable and some will be more than others, but as for deliberatly jeopardising standards on one course to fund another? I doubt it personally.

Some elements of the course lend some weight to this though. I didn't say other courses were making a loss, just that they weren't making as much as the uni might like.
