Thank you.

Apologies, yes, that was an unintended duplication.

Yours faithfully,

Freedom of Information,

Dear Mr Hemingway

 

I write further to your Freedom of Information request I.D. 2362 and give
our response below:

 

LLB LAW ADMISSION STATISTICS

I would like to know the following about each admission cycle separately.
First 2013/2014. Second 2014/2015. Third 2015/2016. Fourth 2016/2017.

 

Would it also be possible to indicate the percentage of applicants who fit
into the three A-Level grouping and the percentage of successful
applicants who fit into the three A-Level grouping?

 

1. Applications.

i) percentage of people who applied with predictions of ABB;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

ii) percentage of people who applied with predictions of AAB;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

iii) percentage of people who applied with predictions of AAA;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

iv) percentage of people who applied with predictions of A*AA;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

v) percentage of people who applied with predictions of A*A*A;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

vi) percentage of people who applied with predictions of A*A*A*;

a) percentage given an offer

b) percentage who accepted their offer as a firm

c) percentage who accepted their offer as insurance

 

The University does not capture predicted grades information in a format
that allows reporting. In order to do so we would need to manually check
each applicant’s record which would exceed the £450 appropriate cost
limit, and is therefore exempt under section 12 of the Freedom of
Information Act. This email acts as our refusal notice.

 

2. Enrolment by achieved grades

i) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of BBB

ii) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of ABB

iii) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of AAB

iii) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of AAA

iv) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of A*AA

v) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of A*A*A

vi) percentage enrolled with achieved grades of A*A*A*

Please note that data for systematic analysis on achieved grades is
captured in the format of combined UCAS tariff scores, not individual
letter grades. Tariff scores are provided however it should be noted that
the equivalencies are not a definitive indicator of the grade achieved
(for example BBB carries the same tariff score as ABC).

 

3. Enrolment by achieved grades against offer( where achieving AAA with an
offer of AAB would be 1 above and achieving A*AA with an offer of AAB
would be 2 above).

i) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 1 above their offer

ii) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 2 above their offer

iii) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 3 or more above their offer

iv) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 1 below their offer

v) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 2 below their offer

vi) percentage enrolled with achieved grades 3 below their offer

 

The University does not capture the offer grades in a format that allows
reporting. In order to do so we would need to manually check each student
record which would exceed the £450 appropriate cost limit, and is
therefore exempt under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act. This
email acts as our refusal notice.
