Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to examine the development and implementation of the UCAS Tariff that enables a comparison of a wide range of academic and vocational qualifications in the United Kingdom and elucidate the factors that influence patterns of entry requirements and selection criteria of universities. As a result, the presence of the factors such as competitive environment in the higher education sector (reduction in government subsidy allocation, order of university rankings, etc.) and university’s historical and academic background and selection characteristics (recruiting universities that take into consideration various qualifications and UCAS Tariff Points as entry requirements, and selective research universities that prefer academic qualifications) was clarified.
