Fraud and similarity

UCAS operates a dedicated Verification Team tasked with the prevention and detection of fraud in applications and similarity in personal statements.

We have a responsibility to our applicants, providers and stakeholders to screen applications for false, missing and/or misleading information and personal statements for patterns of similarity and to report our findings.

Our aim is to avoid anyone gaining from an unfair advantage and securing a place by deception.

Please use this form to advise us of any concerns regarding an application in the current cycle.
