Abstract

Undergraduate admissions to British universities are computerized through a central clearing house, UCCA. A by-product of this arrangement is that information on each applicant is easily available in computer-readable form. The paper describes a system used to administer undergraduate applications, forecast enrolment and do market analysis which was implemented in the Faculty of Social Sciences of Southampton University.
