SIMD0-20 Applicants, Offers, and Entrants
Dear SRUC,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request data for each academic year from 2014/15 to the current year (2023/24). For each year, I would like to know SIMD0-20 (Quintile 1) numbers for the following categories:
- Number of applications to undergraduate courses.
- Number of SIMD0-20 applicants to undergraduate courses. I’m aware this may be different from the total number of applications, e.g. if an SIMD0-20 applicant applies to multiple courses at your institution in a given year.
- Number of offers made to SIMD0-20 applicants for undergraduate courses.
- Number of entrants to undergraduate courses.
In each case, please use the SFC’s Early Statistics/Early Access definitions of undergraduate courses and students (https://www.sfc.ac.uk/publications-stati...).
Where possible, please provide the output in excel format.
Yours faithfully,
James W
