Dear Mr Carter,
Thank you for your information request. Please find attached the following
document;
1. Copy of your request.
From our preliminary assessment, we estimate such compliance with your
request would exceed the appropriate costs under section 12 of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000, which is currently set at £450. While the
University does hold this information, across a number of departments, it
is estimated it would take well over the 18 hours limit to collate so much
statistical information.
As required under our duty to advise and assist you please be aware that
student statistical information is accessible at:
