Good morning
I am emailing to clarify an element of your FOI request below.
In respect of international fee income generated by Chinese and Hong Kong students, I would ask that you confirm whether you are defining student origin by nationality or domicile? In addition, are you able to confirm that you are interested in all levels of study, please.
I have placed your request on hold and will re-open it once clarification is received.
