Dear Mr Fawcett,

I write with regard to your FOI Request received recently by this office
in which you asked for information concerning the number of student who
had graduated in the last number of years.

As you may be aware we provide undergraduate, postgraduate and
professional courses and, for example, with a Masters Degree, the student
might not complete the Masters but if they have finished the required
number of modules, they may "graduate" with a post-graduate certificate of
diploma. They may even return to their studies at a later date and
"graduate" at a higher level then.

Therefore I would be grateful if you would contact me to clarify your
requirements so that I can ensure any information provided is to your
satisfaction. If you wish to discuss further please contact me on the
number below.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Matt Cooper

Dear Matthew Cooper,

Thank you for your email

I would be obliged if you could provide details of the number of undergraduates who were awarded a degree in each of the last three years and the number of post graduate qualifications (degrees/ certificates and diplomas) in each of the last three years.

This is in addition to the request concerning the number of requests for verification of qualifications.

I hope this clarifies the request

Yours sincerely,

Neil Fawcett

Dear Matthew Cooper,

By way of clarification, I would be obliged if you could provided the total number of undergraduate qualifications and the number of postgraduate qualifications (be they degrees, diplomas or certificates)awarded in each of the last three years.

Yours sincerely,

Neil Fawcett

Dear Mr Fawcett,

I write with regard to your Freedom of Information request received by
this office on 27^th April 2009 in which you requested information
concerning awards made by the University and the number of enquiries made
about these awards by 3^rd parties.

With reference to your questions 1-3 please see the attached statistics
contained within the spreadsheet for the years required.

With reference to your questions 4-6, unfortunately we do not maintain a
total for the amount of requests of this nature received across the
University in each year. Therefore for the purposes of the Act I conclude
that the information is not held.

I hope this satisfies your query, I attach the University of Wales,
Newport Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled.

If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to contact me. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the
University of Wales, Newport.

Yours sincerely

Matt Cooper
