Dear Aadish

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request of 23^rd February 2022. 

 

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request for the following information about admission statistics for UCL’s
MA Educational Leadership (Pre-service) Education postgraduate taught
programme from 2016 onwards:

 

o Number of Applicants (Total, Domestic, International and Indian)
o Number of Offers (Total, Domestic, International, Indian)
o Number of Acceptances (Total, Domestic, International, Indian)
o Number of Enrolments (Total, Domestic, International, Indian)

 

We can confirm that we do hold some information of the description
specified in your request and this information is provided below.

 

Please note: 

o This programme-route was first run in the 2021/22 academic year,
therefore there is not data available for the earlier years.
o The numbers given for ‘International’ include those who are citizens
of the Republic of India.

 

Total 2021
Number of Applicants 137
Number of Offers 42
Number of Acceptances 33
Number of Enrolments 31

Number of Acceptances 6
Number of Enrolments 6

 

International 2021

Number of Offers <5
Number of Acceptances <5
Number of Enrolments <5

 

As you will see within the tables above, where the number of individuals
is fewer than 5, this information has been withheld because, with such low
numbers, providing this information on an anonymised basis could allow the
individuals to be identified, which would make this information personal
data of third parties, or if linked with other personal identifiers in the
public domain, would be likely to become personal data.  This information
has been withheld under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) by virtue of Section 40(3A)(i).

 

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal
data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure
would breach any of the Data Protection principles.  In this case, we
believe that the requested information could relate to and identify
individuals and therefore would be personal data.  The disclosure of these
personal data would not be within the reasonable expectations of the
individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so; this therefore
breaches the first Data Protection principle.

 

As the Section 40(2) exemption is an absolute one, there is no need to
conduct a public interest test.

 

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.

 

If you are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please email
[1][email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal
Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the
Vice-President (Operations), alternatively you should write to:
