UCAS - Annual datasets to download

Annual datasets

The annual datasets are free to download and cover eight themes over a period of nine years. Each dataset is available for the UK as a whole or just for applicants from each of the four UK countries. The data is supplied in Excel spreadsheet format.

How to download the datasets

The datasets are provided as an executable program (.exe files) to ensure that they download to your computer as quickly as possible. This means that you will need to run the program from your computer to access the spreadsheets.

When you select a file to download, you will be prompted to save the file to your computer. Do this, following the instructions carefully. It is important to remember where you chose to save the file, as you will then need to run it from that location using your File Manager or Windows Explorer. Follow the instructions carefully to unzip the file and save the spreadsheets into a new folder on your computer beginning c:\ucas. This folder now contains your spreadsheet to open, manipulate and print.

Note that in some operating systems you can unzip the file without first saving it by selecting Open or Run instead of Save when you select the file to download. This will take you straight to the unzip process. Follow the instructions carefully to unzip the file and save the spreadsheets into a new folder on your computer beginning c:\ucas.

The table below provides links to each dataset description on the left and links to download each dataset by year of entry and country the applicant is from or the institution country.
