Student deaths

The request was partially successful.

Under the freedom of information act, please can I request the following information in relation to your university and any institutions you accredit degrees for.

a) The number of student deaths in each calender year of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, as well as the first quarter of 2022 (with separate figures for each year please);

b) Of these, the number of student deaths recorded as suicide by a coroner in each calender year of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, as well as the first quarter of 2022;

c) For each death recorded as suicide by a coroner, the date of death;

d) For each death recorded as suicide by a coroner, the campus or college which the student had been attending (if your institution has more than one college/campus).

FOI, University for the Creative Arts

Dear Claire,

Thank you for your enquiry under Freedom of Information.

 

Please find below the response from the University for the Creative Arts.

 

 

a) The number of student deaths in each calendar year of 2018, 2019, 2020,
2021, as well as the first quarter of 2022 (with separate figures for each
year please);

 

 

Number of deceased students by calendar year
2018 2019 2020 2021 2022
3 1 1 4 0

 

 

b) Of these, the number of student deaths recorded as suicide by a coroner
in each calendar year of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, as well as the first
quarter of 2022;

 

c) For each death recorded as suicide by a coroner, the date of death;

 

d) For each death recorded as suicide by a coroner, the campus or college
which the student had been attending (if your institution has more than
one college/campus).

 

The Coroner’s Office would be the authority registering suicide as the
cause of death. As the university is not necessarily informed of these
outcomes, we do not hold data for this and unfortunately cannot answer
questions B, C, and D.

 

Kind regards

FOI
