In the Economics Observatory, Dr Aytek Erdil argues for a post-qualification admissions system that includes a matching mechanism, with students receiving university offers after they have received their A-levels.
A new report from the Royal Economics Society (RES) reveals signs of “stagnation and retreat” in the closing of gender gaps across the study of economic, according to Dr Victoria Bateman. Female intake relative to male appears to be falling at both undergraduate and master’s levels over the last two decades.
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.
