UCAS’ vision is to be at the heart of connecting people to higher education aiming to be in a position to provide more and better services to learners and those who support them, to ensure that universities and colleges can efficiently recruit and select the students they want, and to support others who have a stake in developing the benefits of our unique national asset – a single, fair, transparent service that supports progression to higher education.
