Good afternoon Emily,

 

Thank you for your request for information dated 03/09/2020, please accept
our apologies for the delay in responding to your request.

 

Please be advised that whilst I can confirm that the University does hold
the information requested, to locate, retrieve, and extract it I it’s
entirety would exceed 18 hours, and therefore the appropriate limit of
£450, calculated at a rate of £25 per hour as set out in the applicable
Fees Regulations. As such, we are applying the exemption at Section 12 of
the Freedom of Information Act (2000). – Where this has been applied this
has been indicated.

It is not possible to provide this information within the 18 hour time
limit. Please note that there is only a very small number of A-levels that
we do not accept. These are: General Studies, Use of Mathematics, World
Development, Communication and Culture and Critical Thinking. It is also
worth noting that we do not require any science subjects at A-level.

4) Number of applicants who applied with Biology, Chemistry + one a level
other than Physics or Maths ( Could you please also clarify what this 3rd
A level was)

 

Again, it is not possible to provide this information within the 18 hour
time limit.

Again, it is not possible to provide this information within the 18 hour
time limit.

 

I hope that this is of use. If you are unhappy with the way we have
handled your request you can ask for an internal review. Details of how to
do this can be found at: [1]http://www.ncl.ac.uk/foi/access/complain...

 

If you are not happy with the outcome of the internal review, you then
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner's Office
for a decision. Details of how to do this can be found at:
