Description
The University seeks to award a contract for the provision of student recruitment intelligence and subsequent student recruitment advertising services. UCAS is the sole holder of the data required to enable this proven and sophisticated approach to student recruitment (pre-applicant database, UCAS application patterns and number, University admission behaviours and numbers, etc.) as they alone handle UK undergraduate university applications.
