Further Clarification received 14 May 2019 timed 1818 hours:

To be clear, I am only seeking information relating to the number of new
students being admitted to an undergraduate degree programme. So whichever
year they are entering at, as i realise some will start in year 1 and
others will leapfrog into a higher year to begin with. I am not seeking
info relating to continuing students going into 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year.

Further clarification requested 15 May 2019

The University requires confirmation of the specific definition of what
constitutes a student from Scotland’s most deprived backgrounds.

To answer this query the University intend to use the Standard Index of
Multiple Deprivation 0-20 percentile (SIMD 0-20) definition please confirm
if this is what you are looking for?
