Dear Sam,

 

I refer to your request of 18 December 2025.  The University’s response
follows:

 

I am writing to request statistical data on student performance for
students who were enrolled in MBChB 221A/B in 2024.

Specifically, I request:

(1) The distribution of final overall grades for students who completed
MBChB 221A/B in 2024, broken down by grade category (e.g., A+, A, A−, B+,
etc.).

The information requested is publicly available on the University’s
Student Grade Distributions Dashboard here
[1]https://uoa.custhelp.com/app/answers/det...
except for courses with low numbers of students.

This part of your request is refused under s 18(d) in respect of the
publicly available information and under s 9(2)(a) in respect of courses
with low numbers of students (if any), to protect their privacy.

(2) The number of students enrolled in MBChB 221A/B in 2024 who were
required to sit any ‘specials test’ in January 2025.
26

 

(3) A breakdown of the number of students who were required to sit each
module-specific ‘specials test’ in January 2025 (e.g., Cardiovascular
System, Respiratory System, etc.).
The information requested is below, with the exception of exact figures
for 7 or fewer students, which are withheld under s 9(2)(a) to protect
their privacy.

 

Musculoskeletal = <7

Digestive = 8

Principles of medicine = <7

Cardiovascular = 10

Genitourinary = <7

Clinical Pharmacology = <7

 

(4) Of the students who were required to sit ‘specials tests’ in January
2025, the number of students who did not pass those tests.

<7

The exact figure is withheld under s 9(2)(a) to protect the privacy of the
individual students.

(5) The number of students enrolled in MBChB 221A/B in 2024 who were
required to repeat MBChB 221A/B in 2025.

<7

The exact figure is withheld under s 9(2)(a) to protect the privacy of the
individual students.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
