Admissions Conference 2021

This session will delve into the data behind our recently published report on student choice. 

It will track a student’s decision making processes through all levels of education and cover how this may impact their choice of degree subject. It will also examine the other influencing factors on a student’s choice of degree subject. Crucially, it will then examine how students can be better supported in making these vital decisions.  

• Understand the key influencing factors in what qualifications a student chooses at GCSE/National 5 and/or post-16
• Understand how the qualifications taken at school impact degree subject and provider choice
• Understand what other motivating factors influence a student’s choice of subject
• Understand what kind of information and advice would help students in making these choices
