Dear University of Bristol,
I am writing to request the following information about the percentage of Computer Science BSc and Computer Science MSc students who graduate with a certain grade for 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 academic years. Please include grade from 70% up to 100%, with divisions every 1%. For example, 4% of students achieved 70-71%, 5% of students achieved 71-72%, ... and etc.

Dear Mr Richardson
The University has received your request for information below and
assigned it the reference FOI21-213.
We carried out an initial assessment and unfortunately we can not answer
this request, as grades are recorded as classification type (1:1, 2:1,
etc) not as a number or percentage.
If you would like the classification information instead, please could you
re-submit your FOI request quoting ref: FOI21-213, specifying this.
Please could you provide your revised query within 20 working days,
otherwise your request for information will be considered closed.
Kind regards
FOI Team
