Policy and research services
We have developed our policy and research services to interpret and gauge the impact of national educational policies. We aim to respond to changes in a way that is supportive to our member institutions as they too respond and adapt to ever-changing and evolving pre-HE and HE contexts. We focus on:
- the pre-HE curriculum and progression to higher education
- the development and use of the Tariff
- research that underpins UCAS' policy work and informs the broader higher education arena.
