  • provider decision data and analysis at course-level
  • competitor and sector benchmarking analysis for three cycles, at subject line-level
  • reporting at provider, subject group, subject line, and course-level
  • ability to build and report on your faculties, or bespoke groups of your choice
  • a wealth of reports at individual applicant-level, enabling live analysis of your current applicants, and how they compare to your aggregated competitors and the sector

Important reminder about 2019 cycle changes 

As previously communicated, our Application and Decision Tracker currently relies on JACS codes to identify similar courses, for reporting and benchmarking a provider’s overall sector performance.

However, as it’s mandatory for all 2019 courses to be assigned HECoS codes, we‘ve developed a model which uses the information you tell us about your new courses, to assign relevant JACS principal subject codes – also referred to as subject groups or subject lines.

We’re using this as an interim solution, while the sector moves away from JACS codes. The development of our 2019 Application and Decision Tracker is ongoing. For more information, view bulletin 490.
