I request the mean, 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentile scores for the

MATH0016, MATH0023, MATH0026, MATH0028, MATH0029, MATH0030,  MATH0031,
MATH0032, MATH0035,  MATH0038, MATH0053,  MATH0056, MATH0058, MATH0065,
MATH0075, MATH0082, MATH0086, MATH0088

 

stat0005, stat0006, stat0007, stat0010, stat0011, stat0013

 

phil0184, econ0027

 

COMP0017, COMP0019, COMP0020, COMP0021, COMP0022, COMP0023, COMP0024,
COMP0025, COMP0026, COMP0027, COMP0142, COMP0157, COMP0169

 

COMP0044, COMP0053, COMP0054, COMP0055, COMP0056, COMP0060, COMP0061,
COMP0078, COMP0080, COMP0081, COMP0082, COMP0083, COMP0084, COMP0087,
COMP0089, COMP0090, COMP0101, COMP0102, COMP0103, COMP0104, COMP0105,
COMP0113, COMP0114, COMP01118, COMP0123, COMP0124, COMP0133, COMP0137,
COMP0143, COMP0172, COMP0173, COMP0174

 

We confirm that we do hold information of the description in your request
and this is set out in the attached spreadsheet.

 

Whilst UCL is committed to openness and transparency, we are also mindful
of our obligations under the data protection regime, and therefore take
steps to anonymise data before it is released.  We therefore adopt the
following approach when releasing statistics that relate to people, to
prevent unauthorised disclosure of information that relates to
individuals:

•           Numbers of individuals are rounded to the nearest multiple of
5 - so if the figure is 102 individuals, this is rounded to 100.  Any
number lower that 2.5 is rounded to 0.

•           Percentages that are based on a group of 22 individuals or
less are not provided, and this includes requests for percentile
information about marks.

•           Averages based on 7 or fewer individuals are not provided.

 

We have identified that there is a risk of the identification of
underlying individuals in the information that you have requested.  We
have therefore applied the approach to percentages to your request.  The
information withheld is the personal information of third parties, or, if
linked with other personal identifiers in the public domain, would be
likely to become personal data.  This information has been withheld under
Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) by virtue of
Section 40(3A)(i).

 

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.  In this case, we
believe that the requested information could relate to and identify
individuals and therefore would be personal data.  The disclosure of these
personal data would not be within the reasonable expectations of the
individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so; this therefore
breaches the first Data Protection principle.

 

As the Section 40(2) exemption is an absolute one, 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 are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please email
[1][email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal
Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the Chief
Operating Officer, alternatively you should write to:

 

Chief Operating Officer

University College London

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may
apply directly to the Information Commissioner at the address given below.
You should do this within two months of our final decision. (Please note,
complaints and requests for internal review received more than two months
after the initial decision will not be handled.)

 

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this email and including the request reference number.
