Senior Tutor’s Report A change in the regulation of personal data means that we can no longer access any comparative data to estimate our position, or the position of individual subjects, relative to other colleges. That said, looking at the results of Magdalene students alone, it is still heartening to see that over 90% of the graduating cohort will enter the wider world with at least a 2.1. More broadly, there was a disappointing decline in the percentage of Firsts, down from last year’s relative high of just under 30% to this year’s 23% – the lowest percentage since 2013.
