7. How many local students (UK and EU) received an interview for the admission year 2015,
2016, 2017?
8. How many local students (UK and EU) received an offer for the admission year 2015, 2016,

The requested information, insofar as it is held, is attached. Information about interviews is not held; all
interview processes for entry to undergraduate degree courses at the University are set and managed
locally by each of the individual Colleges, each of which is a separate legal entity and public authority
under the Act. Any numbers between 1 and 2 inclusive (but not zero) have been shown as ‘<3’ (less
than 3) to prevent the risk of any individual being identified. In presenting the information in this way,
the University is engaging the exemption at section 40(3A)(a) of the Act because its release would
breach the first data protection principle (the fair, lawful and transparent processing of personal data)
as set out in the General Data Protection Regulation. This part of section 40 confers absolute
exemption under the Act. Please note that 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 contact us quoting the reference
number above. 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
(https://ico.org.uk/).

Yours sincerely,

James Knapton
