University Admissions could do with a Matchmaker

Economics News | Published on Friday, 14 May, 2021

A Cambridge economist is proposing a major shake-up of the university admissions system in the UK. The key to his Post-Qualification Admissions model is to have UCAS act as a ‘matchmaker’.

After the release of A-level results, students will express to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service their preference ranking of the courses they applied to. Likewise, universities will inform UCAS how many places are available in each course and how they rank applicants from best-qualified to least.
