Dear Kai,
Thank you for your request below.
We just need some clarification in order to provide you with the information please.
You have mentioned you would like the information for 2019/2020 admission cycle but then in your first point you have asked for 2018/2019. Can you please let us know which year you are requesting the information for?
Kind regards

Dear Finance.FOI Requests,

Dear Kai
Apologies for the delay in responding to your request.
We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request.
We can confirm that we do hold information of the description specified in
your request and this information is provided attached.
For the 2019/2020 admission cycle:
1. List of all postgraduate taught courses
2. Number of applicants (all postgraduate programmes)
3. Number of offers made (all postgraduate programmes)
4. Number of Chinese applications (all postgraduate programmes)
5. Number of Chinese offers made (all postgraduate programmes)
As you can see, exact counts totalling 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.
As the section 40(2) exemption is an absolute one, there is no need to
conduct a public interest test.
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:

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. (Please note,
complaints and requests for internal review received more than two months
after the initial decision will not be handled.)
If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this email and including the request reference number.
