It’s based around a growing set of over 130 variables, covering applicants, applications, offers, replies, and acceptances. Data from EXACT is aggregated and anonymised, and can be supplied in various file formats. This allows you to present the data directly in PDF format, or import into software or visualisation tools for further analysis through CSV format.
We’re now trialling a self-service facility through a subscription model, and offering this to our provider customers. Signing up for the EXACT subscription allows you to request any data output via a self-service order form. Your data is then extracted, and the output delivered to you the following working day. You can submit up to three requests every day, allowing unprecedented access to our data.
We initially want to test this with 12 providers. The pilot will run from 1 May 2018 until 31 July 2018, and will cost £5,000 (excl. VAT) for these three months. If the pilot is successful, we plan to roll this out to more providers from August 2018.
To find out more, or express an interest in signing up, please contact our EXACT Team at exact@ucas.ac.uk. Subscriptions are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
