Dear Mr Carter,

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) dated 30 December 2012.

I would advise that complying with this request is likely to exceed the 'cost limit' i.e. it is likely to take more than 18 hours therefore in accordance with s13 of the FOIA we would require a minimum fee of £450 (i.e. 18 hours x £25) to comply with your request or alternatively please could I ask you to scale down your request.

In addition, please could you confirm whether it is full time undergraduate courses that you require information about, or postgraduate and part-time courses too?

Many thanks.

With kind regards

Dear foi,

Please provide information going back only so far as that the cost

undergraduate full-time courses.

Dear Mr Carter,

Further to your email of 5 January 2012, we have endeavoured to provide the information requested within the 18 hours' time limit.

10 hours have been spent on the request so far and although some data has been retrieved, further work needs to be done to provide the information as required. It is expected that this could take two weeks.

I would advise therefore that complying with this request is likely to exceed the 'cost limit' i.e. it is likely to take more than 18 hours. Therefore in accordance with s13 of the FOIA we would require a minimum fee of £450 (i.e. 18 hours x £25) to comply with your request or alternatively please could I ask you to scale down your request so that it may be achieved in the remaining 8 hours.

With kind regards, etc
