Good afternoon,
I am writing to request the following information under FOISA:
In each of the last six academic years, how many offers of a place to begin an undergraduate programme at your institution were accepted by (ie students matriculated and took up their place):
1. rUK (England, Wales, NI) domiciled students? How many of these gained their entry qualifications at a private or fee paying school?
2. EU domiciled students? How many of these who gained their entry qualifications at a private or fee paying school?
3. Scottish domiciled students who gained their entry qualifications at a private or fee paying school? if any of these applicants were in the SIMD20 regarding deprivation, please state how many.
4. overseas domiciled students? How many of these gained their entry qualifications at a private or fee paying school?
I would prefer the information broken down by academic year.
If you require any clarification or further information please let me know asap.
Many thanks.
