Dear Narasimha,

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request of 8 June 2022. 

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your
request which read as follows:

I would like to request the 25th percentile, 50th percentile, 75th
percentile, 90th percentile and 95th percentile scores for the academic
years 2021/2022, 2020/2021, 2019/2020, 2018/2019, 2017/2018 for the
following modules:

BENV0027 Health, Comfort and Wellbeing in the Built Environment

BENV0032 Methods of Environmental Analysis

BENV0055 Integrated Building Design for Health, Comfort and Wellbeing

BENV0054 Wellbeing in Buildings: Theory and Practice

BENV0030 Light, Lighting and Wellbeing in Buildings

BENV0040 Indoor Air Quality in Buildings

BENV0033 Building Acoustics

BENV0056 Health and Wellbeing in Cities: Theory and Practice

Further, I would like to know the 25th percentile, 50th percentile, 75th
percentile, 90th percentile and 95th percentile scores for the academic
years 2020/2021, 2019/2020, 2018/2019, 2017/2018 of the dissertation for
the course - MSc Health Wellbeing and Sustainable Buildings.

We can confirm that we do hold some information of the description
specified in your request and this information is provided in the attached
spreadsheet. Please note that UCL has not had its 2021/2022 results day
yet, therefore we do not have the data requested for this year.

Whilst UCL is committed to openness and transparency, we are also mindful
of our obligations under the Data Protection regime, and therefore take
steps to anonymise data before it is released. We adopt the following
approach when releasing statistics that relate to people, to prevent
unauthorised disclosure of information that relates to individuals:

•               Percentages that are based on a group of 22 individuals or
less are not provided, and this includes requests for percentile
information about marks.

We have identified that there is a risk of the identification of
underlying individuals in the information that you have requested. The
information withheld is personal information of third parties, or, if
linked with other personal identifiers in the public domain, would be
likely to become personal data. This information has been withheld under
Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) by virtue of
Section 40(3A)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold
information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal
data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure
would breach any of the Data Protection principles. In this case, we
believe that the requested information could relate to and identify
individuals and therefore would be personal data. The disclosure of these
personal data would not be within the reasonable expectations of the
individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so; this therefore
breaches the first Data Protection principle.

As the Section 40(2) exemption is an absolute one, there is no need to
conduct a public interest test.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.

If you are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please email
[1][email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal
Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the
Vice-President (Operations), alternatively you should write to:

Vice-President (Operations)

University College London

London

WC1E 6BT

Please note, complaints and requests for internal review received more
than two months after the initial decision will not be handled.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may
apply directly to the Information Commissioner at the address given below.
You should do this within two months of our final decision.

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this letter and including the request reference number.
