Records Management,

Thank you for your email. The University is closed for Easter from
Thursday 1st April and will re-open on 7th April. 

Records Management,

Dear Maruseac Mihai
Thank you for your request for information, received 5 April. 
The data covered by your information request are commercially sensitive
and therefore considered exempt under Section 43(2) of the Freedom of
Information Act, ‘Commercial Interests’, where disclosure would be likely
to prejudice the University’s commercial interests.
The University makes each Freedom of Information response as a public
disclosure. University of London Worldwide provide courses within a global
market with competitors who are not subject to the same access to
information legislation. The granularity of data requested provides a
level of commercial intelligence which would be likely to prejudice our
commercial interests to disclose.
Section 43(2) is a qualified exemption and requires a public interest
test.
It is in the public interest for the University to be transparent about
its course provision the University routinely publishes a range of
reporting information on its website at: [1]https://london.ac.uk/
However, it is also in the public interest that the University can provide
its courses in a competitive environment without the disclosure of
information that would be likely to undermine its commercial interests.
Therefore the University believes that, in relation to this information,
the public interest in maintaining the ‘Commercial Interests’ exemption,
outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
Please let me know if you require any further information.
