The number of Academic Departments listed here that conduct research is different from the number of Academic Departments and equivalents listed in IC3 and AC1 that offer academic courses. This is intentional as 5 of our Academic Department equivalents are special academic units that offer courses but do not engage in research; research is conducted under the purview of the 53 academic department units.
