NB Subject level data for 2018 cycle was updated at 1600 on Wednesday 4 March. Statistical release published on 5 March, providing core numbers for the UCAS Conservatoires 2020 January 15 deadline, comparison data over 5 cycles, and graphical illustrations of key trends.

From September 2026 onwards, Level 3 and SCQF Level 6 apprenticeships will be included in the UCAS Tariff, enhancing pathways and progression to higher education.

These data cover applications, offers, and placed applicants by sex, area background, and ethnic group at 133 larger universities.

Our adviser packages complement the data available in the adviser portal – find out where your students are progressing to and see how you compare within the sector.

For the 2026 cycle, we are introducing a new Tariff points structure that now includes Level 3 apprenticeships alongside A-levels, T Levels, and other post-16 qualifications. These changes aim to support apprentices' progression to higher education by creating a unified system that helps universities and colleges evaluate apprenticeship qualifications against traditional academic routes. This guide provides an overview of the recent changes, including the new calculation method, key points for providers, and the impact on apprenticeship pathways into higher education.

If your offers are conditional on results, on results day you'll see if your exam results are enough for the uni or college to confirm your place.

In our series of Analysis notes, we take a look at specific HE admissions topics such as free school meal status and A level achievement.
