UCAS: Supporting International Partners and Embassies

UCAS is the UK’s national shared admissions service, supporting students to access higher education and make informed study choices. We work closely with international partners, including embassy education teams and advisers, to provide clear, trusted guidance on applying to UK institutions.

Our support focuses on practical services that help you guide students effectively:

• Clear, up-to-date advice on UK admissions processes, timelines, and requirements
• Insights into qualifications and grading including updates from awarding bodies and exam boards
• Direct engagement opportunities with UCAS and sector partners (e.g. webinars, briefings, events)
• Resources for students and advisers to support consistent and accurate messaging
• Market Intelligence, data and applicant trends to inform outreach and policy decisions

In 2025, we launched our Next Chapter strategy, reinforcing our commitment to fairness, transparency, and putting students first. A key focus is removing barriers to UK education, so all applicants can make confident, informed choices about their future.

For embassy teams, UCAS offers a reliable partnership helping you better support your students and strengthen pathways into UK education.
