Subject: Official Information request - Graduating numbers of IR majors, GPA's of graduating polsci/IR majors, and GPAs of those who started the MSS/MIR/MPOLS program (2019/2020)

Dear Victoria University of Wellington,

I have three questions.

(1) How many students graduated in international relations (undergrad) in 2019 and 2020?

(2) I would like to know the Bachelor of Arts GPA's (of their whole degree) of those who finished their degree in 2019/2020 - in those who majored in either political science and/or international relations. Please use the 9-point scale.

Please include all those who have majored in either of these two subjects, incl. those who have graduated with another major/minor as well, such as Intl. Relations and History, or Political Science and Public Policy.

I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Majored in Political Science
8.4/9 GPA - 1 student
8/9 GPA - 3 students
7.22 GPA - 1 student
7/9 GPA - 15 students

Majored in International Relations
8.4/9 GPA - 1 student
8/9 GPA - 3 students
7.22 GPA - 1 student
7/9 GPA - 15 students

(2) Similarly, I would like to know:
Of those who started the MSS, MIR, and MPOLS program in 2019 and 2020, I would like to know their GPA's from their previous study, say, as an undergraduate or from another degree. Please use the 9-point scale.

For example:

Those starting the MSS program in 2019, their existing GPAs were:
8.4/9 GPA - 1 student
8/9 GPA - 3 students
7.22 GPA - 1 student
7/9 GPA - 15 students

Those starting the MSS program in 2020, their existing GPAs were:
8.4/9 GPA - 1 student
8/9 GPA - 3 students
7.22 GPA - 1 student
7/9 GPA - 15 students

Those starting the MPOLS program in 2019, their existing GPAs were:
8.4/9 GPA - 1 student
8/9 GPA - 3 students
7.22 GPA - 1 student
7/9 GPA - 15 students

etc.

Please redact all names/personnel details for privacy, to avoid this request being rejected.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Green
