UCAS terms explained

We use quite a few terms in the application process. We’ve explained them all here, if you need to check what any mean.

UCAS Undergraduate releases

UCAS Undergraduate statistical releases provide core numbers on applications at scheduled points in the current application cycle.

UCAS' additional services

UCAS isn’t just an application – there are additional services you can sign up for to help you secure a place, and prepare for student life.

Universities and colleges

Reach your future students and recruitment goals. Connect with the right audience through data insights and precisely targeted campaigns. We understand who students are, what’s driving their application decisions and how you can find the ones who'll most likely enjoy your courses. No other organisation can offer you that.
