Admission statistics for Postgraduate degrees (funded PhD)

The request was successful.

Dear University of Edinburgh,

May I request to be informed of admission statistics for funded PhD positions? I could not find these information anywhere on your website other than for undergraduate admissions.
I am particularly interested in the following programs:
1. Business PhD by research area
2. Business PhD +MRes by research area
3. EPSRC CDT (PhD + MRes) in Data Science, separate if applicant routes differ by MRes and PhD

Look forward to receiving reply.

Yours faithfully,

HS Lee

Records Management, University of Edinburgh

If I may, I would also like to request the acceptance rate for funded phd positions divided by British/EU/non-EU.

Dear Records Management,

Thank you for your explanations.

And business PhD does not include MS by Research degree as an entry condition, according to https://www.business-school.ed.ac.uk/phd..., I request the same information (irregardless of funded positions) for PhD in business.
