Dear King’s College London,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of King’s College London's handling of my FOI request 'International Student Statistics'.

The information I have requested for was for
1) total number of enrolled students
2) total number of international (non-EU) students
3) total number of Chinese students
each broken down by UG, PG taught and PG research.

Could you please check that the numbers are correct (I understand that there are around 30,000 students enrolled currently but the numbers only give me 15,000)? Could you also please provide the information more clearly, e.g. an Excel table or a PDF file?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i...

Yours faithfully,

Zitong Zheng
