Today UCAS publishes two analysis notes, the first in a series of stand-alone reports looking at trends in demand for higher education by specific topics.

These notes look at application rates (of English 18 year olds) by ethnic group and free school meals status.

The analysis notes can be found within the Data and analysis section of the UCAS website.

Analysis note 2014/01 shows that demand for higher education has risen amongst all ethnic groups in English schools this year, with most groups reaching record highs.

The second note shows that application rates have risen from free school meal pupils in 2014, to the highest ever recorded level.
