Access to contextual data via student record systems

The development of delivering UCAS’ Modernised Contextual Data Service (MCDS) via UCAS-Link is progressing.

Posted Wed 13 September 2023

We are aiming to give access to Providers and Vendors who receive MCDS data in our test and training environment in December, and to get it live by the end of the year.

An updated UCAS-Link technical manual that includes details of how MDCS will be delivered is available on UCAS.com here

If you are interested in finding out more about how your provider could benefit from using this new functionality, please contact sdmtech@ucas.ac.uk and you can request access to UCAS-Link in the test environment via our self-service support portal.
