Data solutions

Explore how UCAS’ data-driven insights can help solve the higher education challenges your organisation is facing.

Disabled students: Financial support

Having a disability or mental health condition might mean incurring additional costs (e.g. access to specialist equipment) when accessing higher education. But don’t worry, there is financial support available.

Discovery Events Headline Sponsorship

As headline sponsor of our Discovery events portfolio, your organisation can be at the front of the minds of the hundreds of thousands of young people we reach during their journey to higher education.

Display advertising

Be front, be centre, and be first – with bold advertising opportunities across UCAS’ website and portals. Reach millions of young minds and their most important influencer groups - all planning for higher education, apprenticeships or careers.

Early careers multichannel campaigns

Reach the right candidates and their influencers on the right channels. 1.3 million students come to UCAS each year to explore their next steps – we're ahead of Google when it comes to students seeking information about higher education.

eduroam

eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, international wireless service that is available to all employees at UCAS. We offer the home and visited service.

Emerging cohorts

UCAS fully supports the diverse range of students who wish to benefit from higher education, and we have developed this series of good practice briefings to explain how providers can support applicants with particular support needs, and to consider how they will use information shared in the UCAS application in the future to inform practice and policy.

First-generation students

Students who do not have parents or carers who have attended university themselves sometimes find it useful to have additional information and help when making their decisions and applying to higher education.
