Dear Kai Chen,

Thank you for your below request for information.

Could you please provide the following clarification:-

1. List of all postgraduate taught courses for 2016/2017，2017/2018, 2018/2019

The list of programmes currently offered is on the UCL website. We don’t record the programmes that have been offered in previous years. We can provide the list of programmes which received applications in any given year - is this what you are looking for?

2. Number of applicants

Do you mean in total? – or just for PGT? – do you need this broken down by programme?

4. Number of offers made

See (2) above

5. Number of Chinese applications and offers made (Business Programs, Mathematics Programs, separately)

What do you mean by Chinese? Is China PR domiciled acceptable?

10. Offer holders' minimum entry grades in terms of academic performance (Business Programs, Mathematics Programs, separately)

Could you let me know whether you just want to know what the offers would be? If so, each programme has a webpage listing the entry requirements. Additionally we cannot know what the you mean by “Business”, “Mathematics” etc., unless you can be course specific, we will work with the hierarchies we have internally.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Clarification received:

1, 2 and 4: Yes, I hope to see the list of applications and offers
received for the breakdown of all PGT from 2016-2019.

5: Yes, I am looking for the data specifically for China PR domiciled

10: In terms of the minimum entry grades, I refer to the offer made with
the lowest academic performance based on the UK academic transcript
standard. e.g. 60 or 62.

To avoid the misunderstanding of programmes, could you please provide the
data for all MSc and MA courses by breakdown from 2016-2018

As you can see, exact counts of five or less have been withheld because
these are personal data of third parties or, if linked with other personal
identifiers in the public domain, would be likely to become personal data.
This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA by
virtue of s40 (3)(a)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal
data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure
would breach any of the data protection principles. In this case we
believe that the requested information could relate to and identify
individuals and would be considered as their personal data. The disclosure
of this personal data would not be within the reasonable expectations of
the individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so; this therefore
breaches the first data protection principle.

It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section
40(2) of the Act.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.

If you are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please email
[1][email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal
Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the Chief
Operating Officer, alternatively you should write to:

Please note, complaints and requests for internal review received more
than two months after the initial decision will not be handled.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may
apply directly to the Information Commissioner at the address given below.
You should do this within two months of our final decision.
