The White Paper on Higher Education changes the landscape for HE admissions and makes the admissions process important not only to your college's reputation, but to your financial stability.
UCAS is currently reviewing admissions processes. Post Qualification Application features in the White Paper, European and international competition looks to increase and private providers are stepping strongly into the market. It has never been more business critical to get admissions right, to show fairness, from pre-admissions testing contextual data, to the opportunities for sustained relationship building, the admissions landscape is changing fast.
Following the Higher Education White Paper, this conference brings together leaders in admissions in universities, higher education, colleges and schools to provide you with the policy insight and management strategy and new techniques you need for success in an increasingly challenging discipline.
