Please note the reports are subject to final minor amendments. These reports are provided under strict embargo until they are published on 4 February.

We will be publishing similar reports to last year, however we will also be publishing three new reports covering:

• individual age
• subjects by sex
• UK 18 year old application rates

As mentioned in last week’s bulletin, provider-level versions of the national reports have already been made available to you through the secure file transfer service.

Also available under embargo is the 15 January deadline analysis report ‘UK application rates by the January deadline’. This report looks at application rates for those who submit their applications to UCAS by the 15 January deadline, and gives the first reliable indicator of demand for full-time higher education from young people in the UK. The report looks at application rates by UK country, region, parliamentary constituency, sex, age, background, and qualifications.

To accompany the analysis report the following supporting materials are available:

• data files giving the numbers plotted in each of the charts in the report
• image files for each of the charts in the report

On Thursday 4 February we’ll also be publishing:

• a series of short videos that focus on specific areas of the report and highlight some of the key findings from the analysis report
• an application rate data explorer, that will allow users to interactively explore application rates across parliamentary constituencies between 2006 and 2016

When published, the reports and supporting materials will be in the UCAS Undergraduate releases section of our website.
