The
will be published tomorrow, Thursday 7 January.
We are sharing this data with you in advance, but please note that it is under strict embargo until 10:00 on 7 January. Please do not make any public comment until the release is published.
It’s worth considering that interim releases are not designed for cycle-to-cycle comparisons as there is no secure way to get a like-for-like comparison point outside of scheme deadlines. However, for context purposes only, interim releases do contain figures from previous cycles at an approximately similar reference point. This is normally taken as the third Monday in the month. But, for the 2016 cycle this reference point was unusually late in the month, after the closure of most schools, making the context of previous cycles of reduced value. Accordingly the reference point to capture activity in December has been moved to the first Monday in January, which provides more suitable approximate context for applications received in December.
Please feel free to pass this release on to your Communications teams or Press office, and make them aware of the future statistical release timetable published on ucas.com.
If you have any questions, please email communications@ucas.ac.uk.
