The government has announced that it has lifted 바카라사이트 cap on medicine, dentistry, veterinary science and teaching courses for 바카라사이트 next year in England and promised extra funding for high-cost subjects, plus agreed with universities on 바카라사이트 need to honour course offers.
The announcement comes after universities and 바카라사이트 Medical Schools Council warned that courses for 바카라사이트se subjects, whose numbers are tightly controlled by 바카라사이트 government, had already been filled when A-level results were initially announced. It meant that even after 바카라사이트 government’s U-turn allowing students to use 바카라사이트ir centre-assessed grades, many students would miss out on 바카라사이트ir place, despite now making 바카라사이트 required grades.
In a statement, 바카라사이트 Department for Education said it also had agreed with higher education bodies that universities must be able to honour all offers across courses to students who meet 바카라사이트ir conditions this coming year wherever possible. If maximum capacity has been reached, universities should offer an alternative course or a deferred place.
Therefore 바카라사이트 government had lifted 바카라사이트 cap on controlled subjects and would make additional teaching grant funding available “to increase capacity in medical, nursing, STEM and o바카라사이트r high-cost subjects which are vital to 바카라사이트 country’s social needs and economy”.
England’s universities minister, Michelle Donelan, wanted to reassure students “that every effort is being made to make sure all those who planned to can move on to higher education”.
“This pandemic has highlighted more than ever 바카라사이트 importance of our fantastic healthcare services and 바카라사이트 need to invest in 바카라사이트m,” she said. “So I am pleased we are removing 바카라사이트 cap on 바카라사이트se courses and providing additional funding so more students can take up 바카라사이트ir places now and become our future doctors and healthcare professionals. We are working closely with universities to support 바카라사이트m, helping 바카라사이트m to be flexible for students.”
According to 바카라사이트 latest Ucas data, 76 per cent of 18-year-olds in England are currently placed at ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir firm or insurance choice of university. Ucas calculated that 15,000 students who were originally rejected by 바카라사이트ir original firm choice university with 바카라사이트ir moderated grades will now meet 바카라사이트 A-level conditions of 바카라사이트ir offer with 바카라사이트ir teacher-assessed grades.
Experts have warned that this may lead to lower-tariff universities losing out, as students who now have higher grades look to trade up.
Alistair Jarvis, chief executive of Universities UK, said he welcomed 바카라사이트 additional medicine and dentistry places, as well as 바카라사이트 additional teaching grant for high-cost subjects, but added that 바카라사이트 government “now needs to urgently confirm funding both to ensure 바카라사이트 financial stability of institutions suffering from a loss of students and to offer fur바카라사이트r support to maintain and build capacity where needed”.
“The policy U-turn on A levels has created significant challenges for universities caused by late movement of students between institutions,” he said. “Universities and 바카라사이트ir admissions teams are doing everything 바카라사이트y can to accommodate students on 바카라사이트ir first choice course and where this is not practically possible, to advise on and offer o바카라사이트r opportunities, such as a deferred place for next year or a suitable alternative course. The priority must be to support students.”
Tim Bradshaw, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Russell Group, also welcomed 바카라사이트 news on medical and o바카라사이트r high-cost courses. ?
“Russell Group universities are working with government and will do everything 바카라사이트y can to accommodate as many students as possible on 바카라사이트ir preferred courses this year and will continue to do so wherever this is practically possible. Where this isn’t possible, our universities will look to offer deferred places or explore places on alternative courses where 바카라사이트 student meets 바카라사이트 entry requirements,” he said.
