Our response

Before responding to your request, I should explain that individual
modules are not equivalent to, and do not constitute, a degree level
qualification which means students are not awarded a first-class honour,
2:1, 2:2 etc upon individual module completion. Depending on the choices
made by each student, as part of their degree, they select several
different modules to complete (which may include those that you have
listed) the total of which will make up their degree. With this in mind,
UCL does not hold the percentage breakdowns by class for the individual
modules you have listed.

Additionally, we are unable to provide you with individualised bespoke
data (such as median marks) because this would constitute us creating new
data. However, we have a standard set of data which shows the module
results in deciles. The table below shows, for the 2020/21 – 2023/24
academic years, the average (mean) marks and the number of students whose
marks were within each respective decile for the modules listed. The
figure under each decile is the number of students who achieved a score in
that range that year. For example, for the module DEVP0001, 7 students
achieved a score between 60 and 69.99 in 2021/22.

Please note the following:

·       Marks for the 2023/24 academic year are preliminary, because the
results of Late Summer Assessments are not known yet.

·       If a module does not appear for one of the years, this means that
nobody took the module that year.

·       DEVP0017 is a postgraduate dissertation and its submission date is
later than the exams held for other modules. There are no results for
2023/24 for this module yet.

·       Exact numbers of students totalling 5 or fewer have been withheld.
This is because to provide the exact numbers may inadvertently lead to the
identification of these individuals. Whilst there are no personally
identifiable details within the data being withheld, that data, when
combined with other data that may already be available in the public
domain, could be used by ‘motivated intruders’ and other knowledgeable
third parties to identify the individuals concerned. Linking together
separate strands of data available in this way can indirectly lead to an
individual being identified which would breach the first data protection
principle. Further, these individuals would have no expectation that their
identities, by virtue of disclosing this type of information, would be
made known to the wider public and it would be considered unfair to do so.

As this data would be likely to become personal data, this information is
exempt from disclosure and has been withheld under section 40(2) of the
FOIA by virtue of s40(3A)(a). Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public
authority to withhold information under the FOIA where (i) the requested
information is personal data relating to someone other than the requester
and (ii) its disclosure would breach any of the data protection
principles. It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under
section 40(2) of the Act. As the section 40(2) exemption is absolute,
there is no need to conduct a public interest test.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.

 

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this letter and including the request reference number. If you
are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a complaint

Please note that complaints and requests for internal review received more
than two months after the initial decision will not be handled. If you are
not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may apply
