Viva success/failure rate for phd students

The request was successful.

Dear University of Edinburgh,

I request the following. For each school within the university and for each academic year from 2006 to 2016 please provide:

1) The total number of viva examinations that took place for that school's students for that year.
2) The total number of viva examinations in which a student successfully passed.
3) Total that failed (please count conversion to MSc as a failure).

Please send me the above in .csv format.

Yours faithfully,
Michael Lee

Dear Records Management,

I apologise but I need to make the following clarifications with respect to my request:

1) Please only consider statistics regarding PhD students and disregard any other form of award that undergoes viva examinations (e.g. EngD, etc).
2) Please count any resubmission result as part of its own category and do not include it in the failure category.

I'm aware that this changes the nature of my request somewhat. Please let me know if this is possible.

Yours sincerely,
Michael Lee

Dear Lorraine Peters,

With respect to the two options presented, I am requesting the statistics outlined in option 2, whether the student is successful or unsuccessful and if the final result relates to a first submission or resubmission.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Yours sincerely,
Michael Lee
