This data shows applicants to Oxford Undergraduate courses made through UCAS. Astrophoria Foundation Year Candidates are not
included in this data.
Applicants may change course during the application process. The course shown here reflects the most recent course on record.
Applications are shown for the col ege initially applied to (or allocated to in the case of open applications). Offers are shown for the
col ege making an offer. This can be different to the col ege initial y applied to (or al ocated to) as candidates can be real ocated to
other col eges to ensure that the best applicants stand the best chance of gaining an offer. Final Accepts are shown for the col ege at
which the candidate accepted their offer to study at Oxford University. This may differ from Offer Col ege in the case of open offer
holders.
Further details can be found here:

Final acceptance takes place when a candidate satisfies the conditions of their offer and firmly accepts their place to begin study at
Oxford. Please note that a smal number of candidates with final accepts may not go on to enrol at Oxford due to late withdrawal or
deferral.
Data are restricted to Law with German Law course only.

We have redacted where there were fewer than three offers and acceptances as we consider that disclosure of
this information might enable those with access to other information or knowledge to identify individuals and
learn new information about those individuals.
In taking this measure, we are applying the exemption in section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). Section 40(2) provides an exemption from disclosure for information that is the personal data of an
individual other than the requester, where disclosure would breach any of the data protection principles in Article
5 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We consider that disclosure of this information would
breach the first data protection principle, which requires that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and in a
transparent manner. Disclosure would be unfair to the individuals concerned, as it would be contrary to their
reasonable and legitimate expectations. They would not reasonably expect that information about their
application to Oxford would be made public under the FOIA without their consent.
For the disclosure of personal data to be lawful, it must have a lawful basis under Article 6 of the GDPR. There
are six possible lawful bases in Article 6; we do not consider that any of them would be satisfied in respect of
the disclosure.
INTERNAL REVIEW
If you are dissatisfied with this reply, you may ask the University to review it by e-mailing
xxx@xxxxx.xx.xx.xx.
A request for internal review should be submitted no later than 40 working days from the date of this letter.
THE INFORMATION COMMISSIONER
If, after the internal review, you are still dissatisfied, you have the right under FOIA to apply to the Information
Commissioner for a decision as to whether your request has been dealt with in accordance with the FOIA. You
can do this online using the
Information Commissioner’s complaints portal.
Yours sincerely
