Dear Phee

Further to my email of 4 November, unfortunately we are not in a position to provide you with a response by the date originally stated. We anticipate that we will require a further seven working days and you can therefore expect to receive a response by 10 December 2019.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Kind regards
Gail

Dear Phee

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated 3
November 2019.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

1. STUDENT NUMBERS – SCHOOL LEVEL (2017/18) Please provide:-

(a) the total number (i.e. headcount) of *UG part-time* students
registered within each school (please breakdown by school);

(b) the total number of *UG full-time* students registered within each
school (please breakdown by school);

(c) *FTE total of all UG students* registered within each school (please
breakdown by school);

(d) the total number (i.e. headcount) of *PGT part-time* students
registered within each school (please breakdown by school);

(e) the total number of *PGT full-time students* registered within each
school (please breakdown by school);

(f) *FTE total of all PGT students* registered within each school (please
breakdown by school);

(g) the total number (i.e. headcount) of PGR part-time students registered
within each school (please breakdown by school);

(h) the total number of PGR full-time students registered within each
school (please breakdown by school).

(j) FTE total of all PGR student registered within each school (please
breakdown by school).

Please see the attached document ‘FOI19-434 Student data’.

2. ACADEMIC STAFF NUMBERS – SCHOOL LEVEL (2017/18) Please provide -

(a) the total number of academic staff employed within each school by
*head-count*;

(b) the total number of academic staff employed within each school by *FTE
(Full time equivalent)* (rather than head-count).

These FTE figures should then be separately broken down and
sub-categorised by:

(i) the number of academic FTE staff employed on *research only* contracts
(so not T&S nor T&R);  [again please breakdown by school]

(ii) the number of academic FTE staff employed on *teaching and research*
contracts; [again please breakdown by school]

(iii) the number of academic FTE staff employed on *teaching and
scholarship* contracts; [again please breakdown by school]

(iv) the number of FTE staff in each school who are working at Cardiff
University providing teaching or teaching-related work (e.g. provision of
lecture, seminar, or other teaching-related functions) but who are *not
employed on research only, teaching and research, or teaching and
scholarship pathways*.

[Note of clarification for Q2(iv): Individuals under this category may or
may not be included within payroll, and may provide work for the school,
across a range of contractual or quasi-contractual types. The aim of this
question is to get a comprehensive account of the numbers of people
*working at* (as perhaps distinct from employed at) a Higher Education
Institution such as Cardiff. In that respect, individuals under this
category can be part of arrangements that are made for hourly paid tutors,
but so too can they include PGR students who are on ‘agreements’ to
provide/deliver teaching/teaching related functions. *If you are unable to
provide an FTE number for this specific point, please provide a headcount
number instead (but please stipulate this accordingly).]

Please note that a member of staff reported under one category (e.g. (i))
should not also be reported under a further category). The aim here is to
elicit information that captures the numbers of all staff working at a
Higher Education Institution (whilst recognising that not all staff who do
work within an HEI are officially regarded as ‘employed’).

3. SUPPORT/ADMINISTRATION/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES – SCHOOL LEVEL (2017-18)
With respect to support staff/professional services, please provide school
level staff figures -

(a) expressed as a headcount (reported by each school).

(b) expressed as FTE (reported by each school).

4. STAFF NUMBERS: CENTRAL UNIVERSITY (ACADEMICS & ACADEMIC RELATED STAFF)
Where administrative and/or academic staff are unattached to a specific
school, but are employed to work within the Central University, please
detail by each section /unit /relevant central university department:

(i) numbers of academic staff by headcount;

(ii) the number of academic staff by FTE;

(iii) number of academic-related staff by headcount;

(iii) the number of academic-related staff by FTE.

5. RECONCILIATION – OVERALL STAFF NUMBERS WORKING AT CARDIFF FOR 2017/18
Please provide the overall staff numbers working at the University for
2017/18 by headcount and separately by FTE.  [Please note that the totals
of Questions 2 to 4 should align with these figures. Where they do not,
please provide a note which highlights why (and which specific categories
of staff)  the figure for overall staff number falls short of /exceeds
those figures provided in response to Questions 2 to 4.] 

Please see the attached document ‘FOI19-434 Staff data’.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel dissatisfied
with this response or the way in which your request was handled.
Complaints must be made in writing and must set out why you believe the
University has not met its obligations under the Freedom of Information
Act.  You may email your complaint to [1][email address] where
