Dear Shangqi

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request of 18 August.

 

We have completed the compilation of information for the mean and median
marks as well as percentage breakdowns by class (e.g. 1st class, 2.1
class, 2.2 class etc) of students taking the following modules in
2021/2022 and 2022/23:

 

- Developmental Neurobiology - ANAT0002

- Cellular Neurophysiology - NER0007

- System Neuroscience - PHOL0004

- Structure and Function of Nervous System - PHOL0005

- Writing and Presenting Bioscience - BIOS0006

- Introductory Statistical Methods and Computing - STAT0021

- Introductory Pharmacology - PHAR0007

- Neuroesthetics - ANAT0014

- Molecular Basis of Neuropsychiatric Disorder - ANAT0012

- Sex, Genes and Evolution - BIOL0020

- Visual Neuroscience - NEUR0017

- Psychopharmacology - PHAR0015

- The Cellular Basis of Brain Function - PHOL0009

- Human Learning and Memory - PSYC0030

- Cognitive Neuroscience - PSYC0031

- The Brain in Action - PSYC0032

 

We can confirm that we do hold information of the description specified in
your request and this information is provided in the document attached.

 

Please note, there are no results yet for 2022-23.

 

As you will see within the attached spreadsheet, where the percentages are
based on a data set of 22 or fewer total students (indicated by the symbol
≤22), the information has been withheld because, with such low numbers
even providing this information on an anonymised basis, it may be possible
to identify the individuals, which would make this personal data 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 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)

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.
