Number of refugee students
Dear University of Cambridge,
I would like to request the number of current students who have or have had UK refugee status, who are studying at the university. I would like the total number of such students studying at the university right now. If possible, I would also like the number of refugee students admitted each year for the last 20 years
Yours faithfully,
S Abekov

Dear FOI,
In the response letter, there is a quote: "The University uses the term ‘refugee’ in two different ways: students who have UK refugee status and students who are considered refugees in relation to fee status." Can you please clarify the difference between the two ways? What is the difference between a student who has UK refugee status and a student who has refugee fee status?
Yours sincerely,
S Abekov
Dear S Abekov,
'UK refugee status' is described at https://www.gov.uk/claim-asylum
'Students who are considered refugees in relation to fee status' is described at section 9 of https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information--A... -- as you will see it is a complicated definition.

Dear FOI,
Would you please be able to clarify why there are no records of past students having UK refugee status?
Thank you so much for such quick responses.
Yours sincerely,
S Abekov
Dear S Abekov,
There is no explanation - we simply did not record it within our student records system.
