The ability to benchmark performance for CAH groups is important to us, as it allows us to identify areas of opportunities and threats. We’re also able to easily track performance for our priority subjects.
Subject Quadrant
Organise your subject areas into benchmarking categories so that you can easily view where you might be out of line against the competition.
This page is similar to the Subject Overview, but the layout and visualisations may be better suited for marketing colleagues.
Use this page to:
- Spotlight subjects of strength or weakness (CAH1, CAH2 or CAH3 views available.)
- Screenshot subject analysis views into PowerPoint to share with your stakeholders.
- Plan or adjust your in-cycle subject marketing spend.

Course Deep Dive

In UCAS Tracker Enhanced, assess whether your courses or customised groups are following a similar pattern to previous cycles.
Identify if there are anomalies year on year in the demographics of applicants applying for or accepting your courses – providing insight that could inform your marketing and recruitment strategies.
