Dear FOI,

thank you for your reply. However I note the Engineering Dept says:

"The Cambridge University engineering programme does not have a "Year Out" option as an integrated part of the course. If desired, however, it is possible for students to intermit between their 2nd and 3rd year or 3rd and 4th year in order to undertake a year long internship."

This appears to be contrary to your assertion. I therefore request you review your decision and provide the information as per my original request.

Yours sincerely,

David Dinsmore
