SIMD0-20 Applicants, Offers, and Entrants

The request was successful.

Dear The Glasgow School of Art,

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

Hi,

Thank you for the prompt response. I just like to clarify a point requested, perhaps I could've worded it more clearly, but for each year I was wanting SIMD0-20 numbers only "For each year, I would like to know SIMD0-20 (Quintile 1) numbers for the following categories" per original request. Could I clarify that the "Number of applications to undergraduate courses" in the provided excel file is for SIMD0-20 only? It seems a little high compared to the "Numbers of SIMD0-20 applicants to undergraduate course". Just to clarify the first 2 points of the original request:
- The total number of applications received by SIMD0-20 personnel (i.e. there may be multiple applications from one SIMD0-20 applicant).
- The number of SIMD0-20 applicants (i.e. a unique headcount)

Many Thanks
James Walkinshaw

Dear James Walkinshaw

Thank you for your follow up to your Freedom of Information request. The department had taken "Number of applications to undergraduate courses" to mean all applications rather than restricted to SIMD 0-20 so we have attached a revised version, now restricted to that category.

Kind regards,
