Dear University of Cambridge,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of University of Cambridge's handling of my FOI request 'Admission Statistics (Postgraduate Masters Taught) - Computing'.

In my request, I asked for an editable Excel document. Instead, I received a PDF document. The document is effectively unusable as it requires hundreds of pages without any way to filter or edit. Please provide the information in an acceptable format.

As the ICO says, the purpose of the FOI Act is to promote open data, and by providing it in a reusable format, you will be making it available not only to me but to many others who may find it useful. [https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio....

Please also balance the time you may save by removing the need to reply to future requests for this data, once it has been shared in public on WhatDoTheyKnow.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/a...

Yours faithfully,

Ann Smith
