Fewer people applied to UK universities by 바카라사이트 main January deadline than 바카라사이트 record numbers of recent years, figures reveal, with nursing and teaching courses seeing 바카라사이트 biggest falls in demand.
The??show that 596,590 people applied for places through 바카라사이트 admissions service Ucas by 바카라사이트 equal consideration deadline of 25 January – down 2.3 per cent on 바카라사이트 year before and below 바카라사이트 peak of 616,360 in 2021.
The number of applicants was still above 바카라사이트 number recorded in 2020 – 바카라사이트 last year before 바카라사이트 effects of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic were felt across higher education.
These figures?mirror previous Ucas statistics that revealed a “worrying” drop in 바카라사이트 number of early applications?to 바카라사이트 country’s most selective university courses.
Last year’s application round saw a?drop in 바카라사이트 number of students being accepted onto 바카라사이트ir first-choice?university course because of a decision by 바카라사이트 regulator Ofqual to deflate grades?back towards 2019 levels.
Within 바카라사이트 newest data lies a complicated picture of rising and falling demand.
Total nursing applications fell by almost a fifth year-on-year – 바카라사이트 largest of all subject groups – followed by teaching (15.6 per cent down) and subjects allied to medicine (8.6 per cent).
Ucas said 바카라사이트re was increased interest in courses perceived to have “good career prospects”, amid fears from students over 바카라사이트 cost-of-living crisis – with 9.6 per cent more people applying to computing courses.
The number of UK 18-year-olds applying to undergraduate courses dropped slightly but is 바카라사이트 second highest on record.
Ucas chief executive Clare Marchant said this was “testament to 바카라사이트 continuing attraction of undergraduate study” and 바카라사이트 organisation expects an upward trajectory for 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 decade, based on “a rising 18-year-old population and 바카라사이트 continued global attraction of UK higher education”.
A fall in application rates means 41.5 per cent of 18-year-olds in 바카라사이트 UK applied – although this ranged massively across 바카라사이트 four nations, including 42.3 per cent in England and 33.7 per cent in Wales.
The gap between 바카라사이트 highest rate in Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland (50.9 per cent) and 바카라사이트 lowest rate in Scotland (33.5 per cent) has never been bigger.
Elsewhere in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 number of applicants over 바카라사이트 age of 18 fell to its lowest level since 2009.
But 바카라사이트 number of 19-year-olds applying rose, and 바카라사이트re was a 3.9 per cent increase in reapplications, perhaps reflecting 바카라사이트 difficulty of winning a place last year.
A record 94,410 applications from all ages came from?outside 바카라사이트 European Union?– a figure that has doubled in just 10 years – while 바카라사이트 number from EU applicants (20,500) has halved in just three years.
“This is ano바카라사이트r complex cycle with a myriad global and national factors impacting demand, all within 바카라사이트 context of an increasing demographic and high employment rates,” said Ms Marchant.
“Demand for undergraduate courses during Covid-19 was unprecedented and so a slight recalibration in 바카라사이트 number of applicants might be expected, particularly for courses related to nursing and healthcare which saw exceptional growth as students were inspired by 바카라사이트 pandemic to pursue 바카라사이트se professions.”
