Summary
Deidentified data linking Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, Department for Education, and Universities and Colleges Admissions Service data.
Description
Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) data is based on the information gathered to operate the university admissions process. This includes data submitted by applicants to the UCAS undergraduate scheme and by the Higher Education (HE) institution receiving prospective students applications. UCAS data features three main data tables. The applicant dataset contains information on applicants to the UCAS undergraduate scheme. For each applicant, this dataset includes data on demographic characteristics (eg gender, age, geographical region) and socio economic characteristics (eg ethnicity, socio-economic background, deprivation index). The apply qualifications dataset is at qualification level and contains information on qualifications declared by the applicant during their application. Crucially, this includes the A level grades predicted by teachers. The applications dataset contains the data included in the application made by each applicant, the offer made by each HE provider and the response from the applicant. This allows researchers to have access to a wealth of data, including: the applications that did not receive an offer, if an offer was received which kind of offer (eg unconditional, conditional) was made, whether each offer was accepted as a firm or insurance offer.
