Dear Mr Bart,
Your request was received on 30 May 2020 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
1. For the 2016/17, 2017/2018, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 academic year – please detail the
number of applicants and subsequent offer-holders per college for the MPhil in Medieval and
Renaissance Literature.
2. Please detail the number of applicants who accepted their offers to each course listed in part
one, and their respective choice of college
The requested information is attached. When applying for a postgraduate course, applicants apply
directly to the University and not to a specific College, unlike in undergraduate admissions. They can
input up to two College preferences, though an applicant will only be considered by the Colleges once
they are made a conditional offer of admissions by the University.
Please note that the attached document should not be copied, reproduced or used except in
accordance with the law of copyright.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request an internal review of this decision, you should contact us quoting the reference
number above. The University would normally expect to receive your request for an internal review
within 40 working days of the date of this letter and reserves the right not to review a decision where
there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If you are not content with the outcome of your
review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by the University. The Information Commissioner may be contacted at: The
The Old Schools
