Dear Aakash Sharma,
Your request was received on 22 September 2020 (across two emails) and I am dealing with it under
the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
I would like to know about the Computer Science Offers made for Indian students for the past 5
years together with the college that made the offer.
[…]
I would also like to know about the applicant's exam board
We do not hold information on the exam boards. We attach the other information, aggregated across
the five-year period. In presenting the information in this way, the University is engaging the exemption
at section 40(3A)(a) of the Act because release of the data for individual years would breach the first
data protection principle (the fair, lawful and transparent processing of personal data) as set out in the
General Data Protection Regulation. This part of section 40 confers absolute exemption under the Act.
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
