New UCAS Progression Report

The UCAS Progression Report gives you all the data you need to analyse where your students apply, where they go and how this compares to previous cycles. This data, plus the demographic breakdowns and other data contained in the report can give you valuable insight into your institution, your students and how you compare to the national average.

The Progression Report allows you to:

• analyse student applications made over the last two cycles - compare against previous cycles or national data
• view accepting institutions and subjects
• compare your student trends by subject or institution
• examine demographic trends

Data is presented in easy-to-view graphs and charts and is currently available for the previous 2 cycles’.

The UCAS Progression Report can help your institution focus on what’s relevant for your students, ensuring your time and resources are placed where they are most needed. Comparing year-on-year trends also helps you predict and meet the needs of future applicants.
