Dear Hongzheng Pan,

Your request was received on 1 November 2019 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’). You asked:

Could you give me the statistics information about the acceptance and rejection rate of each
college in the Univerisity of Cambridge as for Ph.D. students in the Faculty of Asia and Middle
Eastern Study (Chinese Study)?
Maybe adding the information about the scholarships too.

The requested information, insofar that it is held, is attached.

Please note that the attached document should not be copied, reproduced or used except in
accordance with the law of copyright.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request an internal review of this decision, you should contact us quoting the reference
number above. The University would normally expect to receive your request for an internal review
within 40 working days of the date of this letter and reserves the right not to review a decision where
there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If you are not content with the outcome of your
review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by the University. The Information Commissioner may be contacted at: The
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
(https://ico.org.uk/).

Yours sincerely,

Zoe Allwood

Please note the following:
Although there is an academic plan for PhD Research in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (Chinese study)
in the University’s record system, there are no data recorded. We assume no applications have been
received. Hence we have provided data to all PhD Research in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. We have
also provided the available funding information for the most recent academic year.
