This uses the principles behind our multiple equality measure (MEM) to code applications by representation level – i.e. their individual MEM group – as well as providing additional contextual statistics, such as applicant grade profile adjusted for equality context.
We’ll be continuing this service for the 2020 cycle, and all providers are invited to opt in to MCDS, which will run alongside our existing contextual data service. Please note, if you opted in to MCDS for the 2019 cycle, you need to re-register to receive data for the 2020 cycle.
If you’re interested in finding out more, or registering for MCDS, please email us at mcds@ucas.ac.uk.
