<p>Universities are independent and autonomous organisations responsible for their own admissions decisions. The Government has no legal power to interfere in university admissions.</p><p>In April last year UCAS published a comprehensive review of the university admission process. As part of this review UCAS consulted extensively across the education sector on the barriers and benefits to the introduction of a system of post qualification application (PQA) to higher education. Their firm recommendation was that a system of PQA should not be implemented.</p><p>UCAS is currently working to implement the recommendations from their review of the university admissions process.</p>
