The information that you have requested is already in the public domain
and is available from HESA (the Higher Education Statistics Agency), the
official agency for the collection of quantitative information about
higher education in the UK, at [1]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/.  All
Universities and other higher education providers in the UK are required
to submit annual information to HESA (the Higher Education Statistics
Agency). If the answer to your query is available from HESA you can expect
comparable and consistent data for all HE providers while saving the time
and resources of publicly funded universities.

Please note that while high level statistics are readily available from
the HESA website, in order to obtain data at institution level, it might
be necessary to submit a custom data request directly to HESA. Information
about this service including how to make a request is available at
[2]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/services/custom/d...

Accordingly this information is reasonably accessible to you by other
means and is exempt from disclosure under [3]section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 which states that information may be reasonably
accessible to the applicant even though it is accessible only on payment..

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel dissatisfied
with this response or the way in which your request was handled.
Complaints must be made in writing and must set out why you believe the
University has not met its obligations under the Freedom of Information
Act.  You may email your complaint to [4][email address] where
it will be forwarded to the Director of Strategic Planning and Governance
who will be responsible for overseeing the review.

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your complaint, you
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for
consideration.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.

Yours sincerely
