Dear Yuheng ,
Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) 2000. I apologise for the delay in the provision of
this response.
We confirm that we do hold some information of the description specified
in your request; please see our response below and attached.
Your request
I would like to request information on module results in deciles, as well

Our response
Please note the following:
• Marks for the 2023/24 academic year are preliminary, because the
results of Late Summer Assessments are not known yet.
• Where fields are empty, this is because there are no results for
2023/24 for these modules yet.
• If a module does not appear for one of the years, this means that
nobody took the module that year.
• Exact numbers of students totalling 5 or fewer have been withheld.
This is because to provide the exact numbers may inadvertently lead to
the identification of these individuals. Whilst there are no
personally identifiable details within the data being withheld, that
data, when combined with other data that may already be available in
the public domain, could be used by ‘motivated intruders’ and other
knowledgeable third parties to identify the individuals concerned.
Linking together separate strands of data available in this way can
indirectly lead to an individual being identified which would breach
the first data protection principle. Further, these individuals would
have no expectation that their identities, by virtue of disclosing
this type of information, would be made known to the wider public and
it would be considered unfair to do so.
As this data would be likely to become personal data, this information is
exempt from disclosure and has been withheld under section 40(2) of the
FOIA by virtue of s40(3A)(a). Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public
authority to withhold information under the FOIA where (i) the requested
information is personal data relating to someone other than the requester
and (ii) its disclosure would breach any of the data protection
principles. It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under
section 40(2) of the Act. As the section 40(2) exemption is absolute,
there is no need to conduct a public interest test.
You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for
example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the
permission of the copyright owner.
If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details
provided in this letter and including the request reference number. If you
are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a complaint
or request a review of our decision, please email [1][email address].
