Dear Amalia,

Thank you for your request for information received by The University of
Manchester on 20 May 2021 which was as follows:

I would like to request the following data under the Freedom of
Information Act about the single honours undergraduate law course at your
university for each of the following admissions cycles:

2018/2019

2019/2020

(please provide the data separately for each cycle)

The data I am requesting is:

(a) The total number of applications received for the course

(b) The total number of offers made for the course

(c) The total number of students who accepted the course as their firm
choice on UCAS

(d) The total number of students who enrolled on the course in
September/October after the cycle ended

(e) The average number of A* grades, A grades, B grades, C grades and D
grades at A-level held by applicants studying A-levels (whether these were
predicted or achieved)

(f) The average number of A* grades, A grades, B grades, C grades and D
grades at A-level held by offer holders studying A-levels (whether these
were predicted or achieved)

(g) The average LNAT multiple choice grade achieved by applicants

(h) The average LNAT multiple choice grade achieved by offer holders

The University has now considered your request and unfortunately the
information you are seeking cannot be provided at this time. This is
because in relation to your questions, not all of this information is
transcribed from the UCAS application. In particular, with regard to
grades such as the predicted A-level grades of applicants and offer
holders, we would need to go back through all of the relevant applications
to extract this information. Unfortunately, due to the number of
applications, this task would take in excess of the 18 hour ‘Appropriate
Limit’ (as defined in the Freedom of Information and Data Protection
(Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004). As a result, Section 12 of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies and regrettably this task
cannot be undertaken at this stage. This email serves to act as a refusal
notice for this request, as per Section 17 (5) of the Act.

If you feel that The University of Manchester has refused access to
information to which you are entitled, or has not dealt with your request
appropriately under the FOIA, you have a right of appeal.

An appeal in the first instance should be directed to the Information
Governance Office at [1][email address]. You should include: 

·         details of your initial request

·         any other relevant information

You must make this appeal within 40 working days from receipt of your
response. We will not accept appeals received after this date, as per the
Freedom of Information Code of Practice, Section 5.3.

The University will deal with your appeal within a reasonable time, and
will inform you of the projected time scale on receipt of your complaint.
You are also welcome to contact the Information Governance Office with
informal questions about the handling of your request. 

After The University’s internal appeals procedure has been exhausted, you
have a further right of appeal to the Information Commissioner’s
Office. Details of this procedure can be found at [2]www.ico.org.uk.

Kind regards

Sharon
