Response to UCAS Admissions Process Review

Ahead of the deadline for responding to the UCAS Admissions Process Review, NUS has summarised our position on the main issues raised by the review.

NUS is in favour of the application with results system proposed by UCAS, which we think will be fairer than the current system.

We urge higher education institutions to come up with creative and innovative solutions to the challenges posed by the implementation of such a system.

Unions may wish to use this summary to help finalise their own response.  

The deadline for responding to UCAS is 20 January.
