The request was partially successful.

Dear Aston University,

I'm requesting information regarding your BSc undergraduate Computer Science courses (BSc Computer Science, BSc Computer Science with Multimedia, BSc Computer Science with Business, BSc Digital and Technology Solutions (Degree Apprenticeship) and BSc Cybersecurity).

My understanding is that BSc Cybersecurity is a new course, so feel free to add not applicable when required.

Please could you provide the following information:
1) The drop out rate for each course as a whole.
2) The drop out rate for each course for each year (first year, second year, placement year, final year, etc.).
3) The drop out rate for each course for home students (UK/EU students) and for international students.
4) The drop out rate for each course for gender (male, female, etc.).
5) The amount of degrees downgraded from BSc (Hons) to an ordinary degree for each course.
6) The number of degree classifications awarded for each course (total number of students), as well as the amount of first-class honours, second-class honours, third-class honours, passes (ordinary degree) and passes with merit (ordinary degree) were awarded for each course.

I'd appreciate the last five academic years of this data (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20).

Yours faithfully,

Kamran Ali
