Dear Imperial College London,

Please may I request the most recent data (2019 entry ideally, if not 2018) below for two of your courses – BSc Mathematics with Statistics (G1G3) & BSc Mathematics with Statistics for Finance (G1GH):
1. For home students only (not international). What was the application/ offer/ places data for both courses?
2. For home students given an offer/ admitted - the breakdown of which type of school they came from (private/ grammar/ state).
3. After A-level Maths and Further Maths, what were the next 3 most popular A-levels taken by students who were given an offer for both courses?
4. How many students who were given an offer/ accepted did A-level Economics?
5. What was the range of A-level results for both courses for those who were accepted AND given a place.
6. How many offered/ accepted students took the MAT test and how many took the STEP paper?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Singh

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find
below the College's response to your questions.

Please may I request the most recent data (2019 entry ideally, if not
2018) below for two of your courses – BSc Mathematics with Statistics
(G1G3) & BSc Mathematics with Statistics for Finance (G1GH):
1. For home students only (not international). What was the application/
offer/ places data for both courses?
2. For home students given an offer/ admitted - the breakdown of which
type of school they came from (private/ grammar/ state).
3. After A-level Maths and Further Maths, what were the next 3 most
popular A-levels taken by students who were given an offer for both
courses?
4. How many students who were given an offer/ accepted did A-level
Economics?
5. What was the range of A-level results for both courses for those who
were accepted AND given a place.
6. How many offered/ accepted students took the MAT test and how many took
the STEP paper?

The information that you have requested is attached. Information has been
provided for 2018 as the 2019 cycle is still ongoing and the numbers are
therefore subject to change.

Please note the following:

 >Data has been provided using applications received in the 2018 UCAS
cycle for BSc Mathematics with Statistics or BSc Mathematics with
Statistics for Finance.                         
 >Table 1 shows the number of Home fee status applications received,
offers made and places confirmed for the programmes as specified
above.                            
 >Table 2 shows the number of Home fee status offers made and places
confirmed for the programmes as specified above split by the type of
institution/centre through which they submitted their UCAS application.
UCAS Apply Cenre is not necessarily the school/school type at which
they studied. For example, an applicant may apply independently 
post-qualification and would therefore be reported as an independent
applicant.                             
 >Fee Status is assessed by Imperial College London in accordance with
UKCISA and Imperial College London policies on fee status
assessment.                            
 >Table 3 shows the most popular A levels declared on the application form
(after A level Mathematics and A level Further Mathematics) for applicants
to these programmes in the 2018 UCAS Cycle. It also shows how many
applicants declared that they were taking those A levels.          

> Table 4 shows the number of applicants who were given an offer and the
number of applicants who had their place confirmed on the programmes
specified and who declared that they were taking A level Economics on
their application form at the point of submission.                 >
>Table 5 shows the number of applicants who were given an offer and the
number of applicants who had their place confirmed on the programmes
specified and who declared that they were taking MAT or STEP at the point
of application submission.                            
> Table 6 shows the Predicted and achieved A levels at point of
application for those who were made an offer and those who had their place
confirmed                           
> Table 7 shows the final Achieved A level grades for those who had their
place confirmed                              
> Places confirmed refers to those who met their offer conditions and
verified this to Imperial College London and had their place confirmed.  
> Figures of 5 or fewer have been replaced by an asterisk. This is because
individuals may be identifiable from the data provided.
 
We cannot provide the exact number as there is a risk that individuals
could be identifiable. Information is exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, Section 40(2), if it is personal data and
releasing the information would breach one of the data protection
principles contained in the Data Protection Act 2018/General Data
Protection Regulations.
 
Statistical information can amount to personal information if it would be
possible to identify the individual from that information or from that
information and other information that may be available to the recipient
of the information. Where small numbers are involved, the possibility that
the receiver might be able to link the information to an individual is
increased.
 
The first data protection principle requires us to be fair in the way we
handle a person’s information. It would not be regarded as fair to
disclose information that the individual would not reasonably expect to be
made public. Our students would not expect the information that they have
given us for admissions purposes to be made available to the public. This
is a refusal notice in relation to the personal information aspect of your
request as required by the Freedom of Information Act.                   

If you are unhappy with the way that we have handled your request, you can
ask us to conduct a review. Please make your representation in writing
within 40 days of the date you received this response. If you remain
dissatisfied with how Imperial College has handled your request you may
then approach the Information Commissioner’s Office.
 
Kind regards,

Freedom of Information Team
