In 2005, the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (HECSU) launched a major programme of research, designed to explore the process of entry into and through higher education in more detail than had hitherto been attempted. This programme, has at its core a major longitudinal study, named Futuretrack, of all applicants to full-time UK higher education courses who applied through the Universities and Colleges Admissions service (UCAS) in 2006. This report presents analysis of the first stage: a census of 2006 applicants who applied through UCAS for full-time places in UK higher education (HE).
