Universities and
Science Minister David Willetts commenting on the UCAS Admissions
Process Review findings and recommendations said: “The changes
UCAS propose to the admissions process will greatly improve the
information and support available to applicants, allowing
potential students to make more informed life changing decisions
about their future.
“In particular, the proposals to replace clearing with a fairer
and better managed process mark a significant change to the most
fraught part of the applications cycle and will be a very welcome
innovation for applicants. I have seen at first hand how pressured
and stressful this part of the process is for all concerned.”
