UCAS has enjoyed working in collaboration with the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) for several years on various initiatives. Now, both organisations are pulling together to further enhance the experience of our mutual members and the international students you support.

UCAS is delighted to announce three new members to its Board of Trustees, which governs the activities of the charity, and two appointments to its Council.

Helen Thorne, Director of External Relations, UCAS, said: ‘UCAS has a responsibility, on behalf of students, universities, and colleges, to screen applications for false, missing, or misleading information, to maintain the integrity of UK higher education and prevent fraud'.

Figures published by UCAS today reveal that 41.8 per cent of 18 year olds from London entered higher education in 2017, an increase of 4.7 per cent from 2016. (‘Young Londoners’, in the context of this press release, is used to mean 18 year olds from London.)

A record proportion of 18 year olds, from across the UK, gained a place at university or college in 2017. This is despite a fall of 1.2 per cent in the 18 year old population in the UK in 2017.

UCAS congratulates the 416,310 students who have been accepted at UK universities and colleges so far this year.
