Finance.FOI Requests, University College London

Dear Miss Waterstone,

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request.

We can confirm that we do hold information of the description specified in
your request.

I would like to know the following questions for Psychology for 2017 and
2018.

 

Q1) How many students marginally failed the conditions of their offer
(i.e. by one grade or one point or more)?

Q2) Of those who marginally failed their entry conditions, what grades did
they achieve in their final examinations?

 

A2)

Of those that who took International Bacc – the grades were 28, 36, 37,
38, 39, 42, no marks or unknown

As you can see, exact counts of five or less have been withheld because
these are personal data of third parties or, if linked with other personal
identifiers in the public domain, would be likely to become personal data.
This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA by
virtue of s40 (3)(a)(i).

 

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal
data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure
would breach any of the data protection principles. In this case we
believe that the requested information could relate to third parties i.e.
the family members of the deceased and would be considered as their
personal data. The disclosure of this personal data would not be within
the reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned and it would be
unfair to do so; this therefore breaches the first data protection
principle.

 

It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section
40(2) of the Act.

 

 

Q4) What is the total number of students enrolled in this course over the
past few years?

 

A4)

2017-18
