Dear Sydney

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request of 20 March.

We have completed the compilation of the data for the following
information:

The number of students getting 1:1, 2:1, 2:2, and 3 for each of the
following subjects in the most recent three years:

• NEUR0009 Metabolic Neuroscience
• NEUR0012 Neurobiology of Brain Injury and Disease II
• NEUR0014 Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning*
• NEUR0015 The Control of Movement
• NEUR0016 Neural Computation: Models of Brain Function
• PHOL0009 The Cellular Basis of Brain Function
• ANAT0008 The Neurobiology of Neurodegenerative Diseases*
• ANAT0012 Molecular Basis of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
• CELL0003 Cellular and Developmental Neurobiology
• CELL0012 Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine
• CELL0014 Dynamic Biological Systems

We can confirm that we do hold information of the description specified in
your request and this information is provided in the document attached.

As you will see within the attached spreadsheet, where the number of
students achieving a mark is 5 or fewer (indicated by the symbol ≤5), the
information has been withheld because, with such low numbers even
providing this information on an anonymised basis, it may be possible to
identify the individuals, which would make this personal data 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 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
Vice-President (Operations), alternatively you should write to:

Vice-President (Operations)

University College London

Please note, complaints and requests for internal review received more
than two months after the initial decision will not be handled.

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.
