We are excited to announce the release of our 2025 UCAS Discovery events. Our calendar of events can be found by clicking the link below. Further details will be released soon. 

2025 Calendar

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.
