Dear Landon King,
Your request was received on 7 May 2024 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).
You asked:
I would like to request, for the Admissions cycles of 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023,
data on (in the form of an excel sheet):
(a) the number of applications and the number of successful offers for each undergraduate
course, for students domiciled in Singapore
The requested information is attached. Some suppression has been applied to prevent the risk of any
individual being identified. In presenting the information in this way, the University is engaging the
exemption at section 40(3A)(a) of the Act because the release of the raw data would breach the first
data protection principle (the fair, lawful and transparent processing of personal data) as set out in the
UK General Data Protection Regulation. This part of section 40 confers absolute exemption under the
Act.
Please note that the attached document should not be copied, reproduced or used except in
accordance with the law of copyright.
If you wish to request an internal review of this response, you should contact us quoting the reference
number above. The University would normally expect to receive your request for an internal review
within 40 working days of the date of this letter and reserves the right not to review a decision where
there has been undue delay in raising a complaint. If you are not content with the outcome of your
internal review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the internal review
procedure provided by the University. The Information Commissioner may be contacted at: The
The Old Schools
