Universities

Four pages per uni: overview, LNAT, grades & shortlisting, interview. Cards show offer rate and offer-holder LNAT.

The UK LNAT landscape

Eight universities require the LNAT for 2026 entry: the full consortium. SOAS treats it as optional for A-level applicants. Nottingham doesn't use it.

How this site works

Every page is built from primary sources: FOI releases, university admissions PDFs, transparency XLSX returns, course-page policy text. Where a figure isn't published, the page shows a [DATA GAP] marker instead of a guess.

01

One taxonomy, ten universities

Every uni folder has the same four files. index — the headline funnel. lnat — the LNAT (or why the uni doesn't use it). grades — A-level and GCSE policy. interview — what happens after shortlisting.

02

Primary sources only

FOI releases, OfS Transparency XLSX, university-published admissions PDFs and CSVs, course-page policy text. Third-party aggregators don't make the cut unless flagged.

03

Data gaps are flagged

If a uni doesn't publish a figure (UCL is the clearest case: internal Tableau only), the page shows [DATA GAP] with what was missing instead of inventing a number.
