Discovery exhibitor zone

Lighting will be provided at the following 2025 UCAS Discovery events: Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle and Brighton.

The updated UCAS Exhibitions Dashboard is now live replacing the 2024 version. Updates include:

• Comprehensive data access: you can now explore data from 3 academic cycles, allowing YoY comparisons that will help you optimise your strategies.
• Enhanced filters: customisable views of your data. You can now view all UCAS Discovery data separately from Create Your Future and apply additional filters to your personalised views.
• Applications, Offers, and Acceptances tab: previously known as the conversions tab, this section now provides detailed conversion data and YoY comparisons for a clearer understanding of your ROI.
• New WP support data: we’ve added Scottish SIMD data to support you with your widening participation goals. Additional Northern Ireland and Wales data will be included in a future release.

Please note the new dashboard will overwrite older versions and contains the most up-to-date conversion data. The new dashboard guide can be found below. 

For one-to-one data support, our team can help on eventstechnical@ucas.ac.uk.
