Dear Claire

I acknowledge receipt of your email received by this office on 19th May 2021.

Your request will now be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and has been allocated reference FOI21-198 which should be quoted in all correspondence. We will respond to your request within 20 working days starting the next working day after receipt, therefore you can expect to receive a response no later than 17th June 2021.

Please note that in order to fulfil your request we need to liaise with other teams across the University. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic most staff are now working remotely and have intermittent access to information held in hard copy. Staff may not be able to assist as they may need to prioritise other work, cover for colleagues who are ill or be away from work themselves due to illness. However, we will do our best to meet this deadline and keep you informed should we be unable to do so.

Where we consider that we will not be able to meet the deadline or if further time is required to consider the public interest test we will contact you as soon as possible and give you a revised date for response.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and, if that is the case, we will let you know. A fees notice will be issued to you, and you will be required to pay before we will proceed to deal with your request.

Yours sincerely

Dear Claire  

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
12/05/21.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

Would you please provide the following data for standard (ie excluding WP)
firm/insurance offer holders on your A100/A104 courses for the latest 3
cycles available.  Please provide separate figures for firm and insurance
offer holders:

Number of offer holders who achieved AAA or better

Number of offer holders who achieved A*A*B and how many of them were
accepted on the course

Number of offer holders who achieved A*AB and how many of them were
accepted on the course

Number of offer holders who achieved A*BB or AAB or lower, and how many of
them were accepted on the course

In response to your query, related historic grade information for all
providers and courses is available from UCAS. [1]Freedom of Information |
Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Conservatoires, Teacher Training, 16-18
Choices | UCAS.

Please see below for UCAS historic grade information data on courses A100
and A104 at Cardiff University. Please note that UCAS methodology used for
historic grades, most notably the exclusion of a number of key
qualifications accepted by Cardiff University, such as Welsh Baccalaureate
Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate means the information provided will
not provide a complete reflection of qualifying entry standards for our
programmes.

There is also information regarding the MBBCh (Hons) Medicine under the
entry information heading at [2]Course Details (discoveruni.gov.uk). 

What is your policy re offer holders who get A*AB?

All applicants who narrowly miss meeting the offer of AAA will be taken to
the Admissions Group and discussed on a case-by-case basis during results
week in August each year.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry. Should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled you can request an Internal Review. This should be made in writing
within 40 working days of the date of this email. Please provide your
unique reference number of your request, information on why you are
dissatisfied and any detail you would like us to consider as part of the
Internal Review process. Email your request to
[3][email address] where it will be forwarded to the Head of
Compliance and Risk who will be responsible for overseeing the review.

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your complaint, you
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for
consideration. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.

Kind regards
