Following the announcement today that Mary Curnock Cook is to stand down as Chief Executive of UCAS at the end of April 2017, Professor John Latham, Chair of University Alliance and Vice-Chancellor of Coventry University, said:

“Mary Curnock Cook has led UCAS with distinction through an increasingly complex landscape for universities. It’s no small matter to ensure hundreds of thousands of students go through the admissions system successfully every year, and Mary and her team have consistently delivered for them. In addition, we will all miss her valuable support and advice on admissions, as well as many wider issues in higher education.”
