Statistics on first year BA students

The request was partially successful.

Dear Anglia Ruskin University,

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to seek the following information from the three most recent academic years (2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21:

1) How many BA students applied to the university this year?
2) How many first year students dropped out in first term?
3) How many first year students chose to defer a year?
4) How many first year students live on campus?

It would be great if you could provide this information in an Excel spreadsheet rather than a PDF.

Under Section 16 it is your duty to provide advice and assistance and so I would expect you to contact me if this request is in unmanageable in any way. You can reach me via email or telephone (07880439206).

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Sophie Ward

Dear Sophie,

following information from the five most recent academic years (2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19,

1) How many people applied to a Bachelor's/Undergraduate degree?
2) How many first year undergraduates (UGs) dropped out in first term?

Yours sincerely,
