We present a lower bound on the number of distinct fields generated by polynomials with integer coefficients fixed degree and growing height.  

Our approach is based on a link between the discriminants of number fields and square free parts of the discriminants generating polynomials combined with the square-sieve of Heath-Brown. 

This is joint work with Rainer Dietman and Igor Shparlinski.
