Finance.FOI Requests, University College London

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your below request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Can you please clarify the following parts of your request:-

a. By “PPE” do you mean the BSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (UCAS code: 4V86)?

b. Can you confirm what you mean by the "mean number of GCSEs"? We have previously calculated this type of query based on only the applicants who have any GCSE results (a number of applicants, particularly those from non-UK school systems, will not have taken any GCSEs). Are you happy with this approach?

c. Can you confirm what you mean by "offer rate"? Can you confirm whether you mean the number of offers divided by the number of applications, expressed as a percentage?

Kind regards,
