Hi Peter,

Thank you for your request to access information from the University of Warwick.

To comply with your request, please the admissions department has requested for the following clarification:

• Please could you clarify what you mean by ‘accepted’? Do you mean the number of applicants who accepted their offer or the number of offer holders who subsequently enrolled? The distinction is that an applicant may accept an offer but never actually enrol on the course. As such, please confirm whether you are interested in (1) number of offers accepted by applicants or (2) number of enrolments?

• The University is unable to provide admissions data for applicants for entry onto courses starting in the 2022/23 academic year as the current admissions cycle is not yet complete. The University will not be in a position to provide this until after the enrolment data is available for the 2022/23 academic year for the various cohorts of students which is usually at the start of November in each given year. Are you therefore happy to proceed with data for only 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018?

We will be unable to progress your request until you have provided the requested clarification; and the 20 working days timeframe for us to provide a response will not begin until we have received your clarification.

If we do not hear from you, we will close your request in 20 working days.

Kind regards,

Dear Legal & Compliance team

Many thanks for your reply. Please see my answers below:

• Please could you clarify what you mean by ‘accepted’? Do you mean the number of applicants who accepted their offer or the number of offer holders who subsequently enrolled? The distinction is that an applicant may accept an offer but never actually enrol on the course. As such, please confirm whether you are interested in (1) number of offers accepted by applicants or (2) number of enrolments?

=> the number of enrolments.

• The University is unable to provide admissions data for applicants for entry onto courses starting in the 2022/23 academic year as the current admissions cycle is not yet complete. The University will not be in a position to provide this until after the enrolment data is available for the 2022/23 academic year for the various cohorts of students which is usually at the start of November in each given year. Are you therefore happy to proceed with data for only 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018?

=> Yes, please proceed with data for 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Are you able to send the updated data at the end of November or do I need to submit a separate request for that?

Thanks again for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Cui
