Dear SN

Please see attached table in response to your request under the Official Information Act dated 14 December 2020.

Please note that the attached table contains references to "<5" for some categories, instead of an exact number. This is because the University's standard practice is not to report on numbers where those numbers are below 5. This is for privacy reasons. Where the numbers of the candidates are very low, there is a risk that the identity of those candidates could be determined/inferred. Accordingly, we withhold this information pursuant to section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act.

We trust that this information is helpful.

We note your right to seek a review of these decisions via a complaint to an Ombudsman. However, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns with you first.

Kind regards

Mayhaka
