University Alliance response to the UCAS consultation on proposals to reform the university admissions process. We broadly support the changes proposed for 2014 and there is general recognition that there is value in pursuing reform of the admissions system. However, it is not clear that the proposal for 2016 provides the best solution to the underlying issues highlighted in the Admissions Process Review (APR).
UA welcomes the government investment to strengthen the UK’s defence skills pipeline, with four of our member universities awarded funding through the Strategic Priorities Grant.
University Alliance has raised concerns about proposals to restrict entry requirements to university, which have been recommended in Policy Exchange’s Tarnished Towers report.
