Provide Evidence for Financial Statement Claims

The request was successful.

Dear University of St Andrews,

In the 2015-16 University of St Andrews Financial Statement, the Senior Governor of the university claims "Our reputation for the highest quality teaching has sustained demand for places amongst Scottish, EU, rest of UK and overseas students. In 2015 we received on average, 11 applications for every available place. In some subjects, the rate is as high as 30 applicants per place."

Please provide evidence to support the two points specifically:
1) an average of 11 applications for every available place (incl. Scottish, EU, rest of UK and overseas)
2) 30 applicants per place for specific subjects - please clarify which subjects

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

K. Johnson
