Choices - assessing your portfolio

How future proof is your portfolio? We'll help you take stock of your offering so you can make informed decisions about your course strategies.

Assessing your portfolio

Student recruitment is a fiercely competitive landscape with fast-changing challenges – but at UCAS, we have the solutions you need. 

Our data-driven products and expert consultancy deliver deep insights that enable you to tackle your challenges and seize new opportunities.

How UCAS can help

As the student recruitment and admissions specialists, we gather vast volumes of data from across the sector. We combine data, student behaviour, and sector expertise into a powerful range of solutions and ready-to-use products for every challenge.

Our solutions are about helping you focus your efforts and budgets. With our data, insights, and recommendations at your fingertips, you can target your activities and allocate your spend where you know it will give the best return on investment.

Future proof your offer

Did you know that half of all providers in the sector could drop half of their courses and only lose 6.5% of their acceptances*?

Your portfolio needs to be future proof. We’ll help you take stock of your offering, access specific courses, and make informed decisions about your course strategies so you can make sure every course is playing its part in your success. 

Whether you're in the planning stages of a new course, or questioning your existing offering, our access to courses and admissions data, hundreds of data points and expert consultancy means we're able to provide a unique perspective with powerful data.

This can then be harnessed to influence your decision making and maximise return on investment - in line with your organisation's strategic goals.

Driving a 7% increase in applications

One provider we worked with needed to revamp their portfolio, but weren’t sure where to focus their efforts. 

They commissioned UCAS to perform a large-scale review, where we revealed that many of their courses could be dropped without significant declines in placed applicants.

Following our review, the provider closed 40% of courses and opened new courses in key areas. Two cycles on, they had seen a 7% increase in applications.
