In addition to the information provided through out the application process, we offer providers a contextual data service, using data from education departments across the UK. This service provides data about an applicant's school or college and local area, which can be used for contextualised admissions – this helps with assessing an applicant’s prior attainments and potential to succeed in light of their educational background.
We’ve produced a factsheet to explain what data is available, how it can be accessed, and for what purpose it can be used.
For more information about the service, please contact contextualdata@ucas.ac.uk.
