Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the accessibility of information provided by English universities on entry requirements for Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers on their websites.

Universities are autonomous bodies, independent from government and are responsible for their own admissions decisions.

Universities are free to decide their entry criteria, and admissions teams consider a broad range of information about a student in addition to their predicted grades.

The department continues to work with key sector stakeholders such as higher education providers, UCAS and Universities UK to ensure that students have access to a comprehensive wealth of information, advice and guidance, allowing them to make fully informed and appropriate decisions on course and provider choice.
