As far as I’m aware, they don’t, but there can be a delay between Universities making decisions and those decisions being processed and showing up on UCAS, so some people receive their offers eg on a Saturday, but most Unis don’t make actual decisions at the weekend, even if offers appear then.

For the majority of the year, no, we don’t. Near deadline dates some Uni’s may process at the weekend to ensure everyone gets a decision in time.

As above, Track is updated by UCAS so you may get a decision outside of a weekday anyway.

As above - also you may get emails from Unis at the weekend but these are auto-generated emails, not someone actually pushing a button.
