Dear Sara Cha

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 20
May 2021.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

 1. I would like to kindly ask how many applications did you receive from
graduates for the Dental Surgery A200 course for the entries 2018,
2019, 2020, 2021.

 

 2. From these applications how many were successful in receiving an
interview and an offer.

 

In relation to questions 1 and 2, the time involved in searching for and
providing the information you have requested would exceed the time limit
(18 hours) allowed under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection
(Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.  Information on the
qualifications already held by applicants’ at application, interview and
offer stage are held in different locations and in order to identify,
extract and collate the information would take in excess of 18 hours.
Accordingly, section 12(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 will
apply. 

 

 3. Finally, what was the average ucat cutoff score of graduates applying
to the A200 course during the above entry years?

 

Cardiff University School of Dentistry does not have a minimum threshold
score for the UCAT.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry. Should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled you can request an Internal Review. This should be made in writing
within 40 working days of the date of this email. Please provide your
unique reference number of your request, information on why you are
dissatisfied and any detail you would like us to consider as part of the
Internal Review process. Email your request to
[1][email address] where it will be forwarded to the Head of
Compliance and Risk 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.
