Michelle Donelan, the universities minister for England, said in a speech that, from next year, universities would be asked to include credit card-style smallprint on advertising for courses, including how many students go on to graduate-level jobs. The increased application rate among sixth formers in England suggests that the appetite for higher education remains undimmed, despite the government’s efforts to talk up the benefits of alternatives such as apprenticeships or other training. But as fears around the post-pandemic labour market receded, applications have fallen this year by 17%.
Last year also saw a sharp increase in the number of mature students aged over 21 applying for first degree courses. 12% more students from China applied for courses, making a total of 14,500, and another 3,000 from Hong Kong. Among schools that accept lower than 50 of applicants, 82 maintained a waitlist. However, stronger growth among non-EU applicants has led to nearly 43,000 applications. It also seems reasonable to assume a higher percentage of Top 10 and Ivy League schools use a waitlist than public state colleges. Since the UK’s formal exit, students from the EU face paying higher fees, and their numbers have slumped from nearly 17,000 applicants in 2019 to 10,000 this year. “However, it needs to be remembered that far fewer disadvantaged young people enter higher education than their more advantaged peers, and that this gap is particularly stark at the most selective universities,” Barton said.Īpplications by international students through Ucas remained flat, thanks to a continued fall in the number of students from the EU applying. Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, which represents most secondary schools, said the rise in applications from disadvantaged areas was a testament to the hard work of teachers during the pandemic.
