For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out

Please see specifically
[1]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis... which
give information on number of students at all Universities for the years
2014/15 – 2017/18, however HESA hold earlier data upon request. Therefore,
while the University holds data about student numbers, the information
that you have requested is already in the public domain and is available
from HESA, the official agency for the collection, analysis and
dissemination of quantitative information about higher education in the
UK, at [2]https://www.hesa.ac.uk/. Please note that while high level
statistics are readily available from the HESA website, in order to obtain
data at institution level, it might be necessary to submit a custom data
request directly to HESA. Information about this service including how to
make a request is available at https://www.hesa.ac.uk/services/custom/d...
. Accordingly this information is reasonably accessible to you by other
means and is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.
HESA is the official agency for the collection, analysis and dissemination
of quantitative information about higher education in the UK and obtaining
this information from HESA will enable you to gather consistent and
comparable 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 [3][email address] where
it will be forwarded to the Director of Strategic Planning and Governance
who will be responsible for overseeing the review.
If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome of your complaint, you
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for
consideration. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at the
following address: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House,
Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Cardiff University. If you require further assistance please feel free to
contact me.

Dear Cardiff University,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Cardiff University's handling of my FOI request 'Student mental health spending and statistics'.
In relation to your response regarding my request for total enrolled student numbers, I would like to request an internal review of this decision.
In your decision notice, you confirm the University holds the information I have requested. You refer me to another public body which has published parts of the requested data online, but you concede that I will need to submit a further request to that body to obtain all my of the requested data.
I do not believe this is in the spirit of the FOIA. I ask that you reconsider your decision regarding the release of data, specifically that not published already by HESA, regarding student enrolment at the University.
Yours faithfully,
Basia Cummings
