In accordance with Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act, the University has not been able to give exact numbers by year as small numbers are involved, and which could therefore subsequently identify an individual.

Q. Number of students who sat the August resit and % who passed.

Q. Number of students who repeated 2nd year
A. An average of 7 students per year repeat their second year of studies.

Q. Number of students who failed to get back in to the school.
A. An average of three students per year withdraw from the course (this can include termination of studies or voluntary withdrawal).
