  • Drowning in a sea of paperwork?
  • Had enough of chasing subject teachers for references?
  • Fed up of typing up references written on scraps of paper?
  • Want the ease of being able to work online, whenever suits you?
  • Don't want to pay a fortune for a bulky, cumbersome and difficult to use system?

Heard of URMANT?
With A-Level exams looming the last thing a head of sixth forms wants is to have to start worrying about the year 12's UCAS applications. URMANT makes the whole process of sorting out UCAS references simple. Administrative staff do their bit, subjects teachers do their bit, form tutors do their bit and you do your bit. The system keeps everybody in the loop and lets you know where the bottlenecks are.

URMANT is still in its trial stages, but we are looking for more schools to join the system for the next academic year (08/09) and we're offering good incentives to join us in our early years! Get ahead of the game by joining now and enjoy a 50% life discount on your yearly URMANT subscriptions. Contact Us for more information.

This is the new site for information about URMANT, a UCAS Reference Management System for schools, colleges and sixth forms. This site is designed to compliment the actual URMANT project, which is available from http://schools.urmant.org .

As it develops this site will provide information about purchasing and setting up URMANT, as well as help and support for subscribed users.

URMANT has been running at one school for the 2006-7 UCAS season, and is now being prepared for use in multiple schools ready for the 2007-8 season.

URMANT, What Does It Do?

1. Writing Subject References:

  • A subject teacher decides to write a subject reference for one of their students.
  • The subject teacher enters the reference onto URMANT, having selected the student and subject it relates to.
  • The subject teacher can refer to any details about the student stored in URMANT, including their achieved and predicted grades and any references written by other staff.

    • URMANT

    URMANT is a subscription system for managing the in-school process of writing UCAS references for students. It is designed for use by office staff, subject teachers, mentors/UCAS reference writers and UCAS Co-Ordinators/Head of Sixth Forms.

    Last week our hosting company, Dreamhost, went Carbon Neutral, since VBE Software Development operates entirely through this hosting platform, and has no other carbon-related overheads, we are pleased to announce that we too are now operating Carbon neutral. As time goes by we will offset anything which does enter our footprint, such as office stationary and transportation for training sessions, etc.

    25/04/2007 - URMANT Trials

    We are currently looking for a small number of schools to take part in the second year of URMANT - The UCAS Reference Management System from VBE Software Development. Schools joining up for the 2007-2008 or 2008-2009 UCAS season will get a 50% discount for life.

    Your URMANT subscription entitles your school to full use of the reference management system for one year group, for one year (based around the UCAS season, running from June 2007 to May 2008). It also gives you access to any references from previous year groups which can be used to recall past student information in the case of professional references, etc.
