Dear Lizzie,

 

Many thanks for your enquiry below dated 13 May 2022. Before I can proceed
to process your request however under the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), I would be grateful for some additional
information please.

 

When requesting information under the FOISA, a description must also be
provided of the information requested and be made in writing in a
permanent form [S8, of the FOISA] – providing a link to a webpage does not
meet this requirement. To validate your request for information under the
FOISA I would therefore be grateful if you could confirm that you seek
data for all the subjects as listed on our webpage - for ease of reference
I have replicated the subjects as they appear below:

Alternatively, if you require data in relation to particular subjects or
academic schools of interest, please specify.

 

Can you also confirm the reporting period to be covered by your enquiry -
please note that as the 2021/22 application cycle is ongoing, the most
recent that is held and available at the present time relates to entry in
academic year 2021/22? 

 

Your request is considered to be invalid at present and will therefore be
held pending until I hear from you further.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

June
