Dear Remi Owolabi,

All 4 universities listed have a course taught in Serbian and a course taught in English. So I asked those that have been successful registered by the course taught in English. If you are unable to provide such precise data then the total registered by the Serbian and English course combined would be fine.  If can you can provide additional information like how many were fully registered per year E.g 2018 2019 2020  2021 etc that would be great if not that's okay.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Yours sincerely,

matthew cheung

Dear Mr Cheung

Your information access request

Thank you for your emails dated 8 September 2024 and 13 September 2024,
where you confirm your request for the following information:

‘How many doctors have successfully registered from the following universities in Serbia,

- University of Nis

- University of Belgrade

- University of Novi Sad

-University of Kragujevac’

You ask that these be broken down by whether the course was taught in Serbian or English.

I’ve considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA).

I’m afraid that we do not hold information on the language that courses
are taught in. For this reason, I am unable to provide you with
information on how many doctors are successfully registered with us who
were taught in either English or Serbian.

I am however, able to provide you with information on the number of
doctors who successfully registered with us from Serbian Universities.
This information can be found attached.

Outside FOIA

As you are requesting information in relation to languages, we thought the
following may be of interest: [1]Evidence of your knowledge of English -

this, or need anything further, please contact me on the details below.
