Dear Queen Mary, University of London,

I would like to request the following information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, 2000.

Could you please tell me the number of undergraduate applications from black British students to your University, broken down by academic year, for the years commencing 2012-2017?

Could you then further tell me how many of those applications were successful in each year?

Yours faithfully,

Matthew Thompson
