Dear Mr Barros,
We have now completed the compilation of information in response to your
request.
We can confirm that we do hold some information of the description
specified in your request and this information, where it is not exempt, is
provided below and attached.
I would be very grateful if you could send me the following information:
Q1) Detail a list of postgraduate degrees that will be running by your
institution for the 2019/20 academic year.
A1) This information is exempt from disclosure due to Section 21, which
states:
“(1)Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under Section 1 is exempt information.”
This information is available on the following web page:
[1]https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-studen...
Q2) Detail the number of applicants in the 2018/19 to each postgraduate
course, the number of offers made per course and the number of students
who ended up enrolling on each course.
A2) Please see attached PDF document.
As you can see, exact counts of four or less have been withheld because
these are 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 s40 (3)(a)(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
individual applicants and would be considered as their personal data. The
disclosure of this 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.
It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section
40(2) of the Act.
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
[2][email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal
Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the Vice Provost
Operations, alternatively you should write to:

London WC1E 7HB
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.
If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this letter and including the request reference number.
