Dear Mr Lawrence,
Your request was received on 16 August 2017 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
In the latest application round (for 2017 entry), what was the first quintile, second quintile, third
quintile, fourth quintile, fifth quintile, median and mean UMS (as a percentage) in AS Maths
(including Further Maths) for those who received offers?
The information is attached. Please note that the information includes UMS for Maths AS
and A Levels
rather than just the AS Levels. We have no way to separate out the AS values but, as the data is
provided at the point of application, the vast majority of this UMS data will relate to AS Levels. The
attached document should not be copied, reproduced or used except in accordance with the law of
copyright.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request an internal review of this decision, you should write to Dr Kirsty Allen, Head of the
Registrary’s Office, quoting the reference above, at The Old Schools, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2
1TN or send an email marked for her attention to
xxx@xxxxx.xxx.xx.xx. The University would normally
expect to receive your request for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this letter and
reserves the right not to review a decision where there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If
you are not content with the outcome of your review, you may apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless
you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the University. The Information
Commissioner may be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
