Dear Rob,
Reference Number: RI2384.
Thank you for your request for information (under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000).
Please provide me, as of the 2022/2023 academic year, the number of
overseas students studying at your institution. Please break this down by
the following:
a) Undergraduates/ postgraduates/ other
b) by faculty and subject
Information for the 2022/23 academic year is currently exempt:
Section 17 of the FOIA2000 requires Cardiff Metropolitan University, when
refusing to provide information (because the information is exempt), to
provide the applicant with a notice which:
a) States the fact.
b) Specifies the exemption in question.
c) States, unless otherwise apparent, why the exemption applies.
In relation to the 2022/23 academic year, the following exemption applies:
The information you have requested is due to be published at a future
date. Therefore, general principles of the Section 22 exemption of the
FOIA apply to your request:
(1) Information is exempt information if—
(a) the information is held by the public authority with a view to its
publication, by the authority or any other person, at some future date
(whether determined or not),
(b) the information was already held with a view to such publication at
the time when the request for information was made, and
(c) it is reasonable in all the circumstances that the information should
be withheld from disclosure until the date referred to in paragraph (a).
The data you have requested will be available from the Higher Education
Statistics Agency (HESA) in January/February 2024 (except for faculty and
subject which will need to come from the University directly).
Secondly, please could you confirm whether there is, anywhere in
institution, the provision for remote/digital/distance learning.
Details of courses that are run remotely/digitally/via distance learning
can be found on our website:
[1]https://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/study/Pages....
If you are unhappy with the way in which your request has been dealt with
or with the outcome of the consideration given to your request, you may
ask for an Internal Review. If you are not content with the outcome of the
Internal Review you have the right to apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. Our procedure for carrying out Internal
Reviews can be found under the ‘Complaint’ section of [2]this document.
If you have any queries about this response or would like any further
information about your request, or the Freedom of Information Act in
general, please do not hesitate to contact us again by e-mail
([3][email address]).
Yours sincerely,
