Uclan data point to falling student recruitment

Internal university data seen by 온라인 바카라 have revealed 바카라사이트 first named case of an English institution anticipating a decline in recruitment for 2013-14.

The University of Central Lancashire was on course for fewer undergraduate recruits this year, despite a rise in admissions nationally.

Uclan¡¯s number of home and European Union firm acceptances ¨C revealed in internal papers seen by 바카라 사이트 추천 ¨C declined by 3 per cent from 3,375 in 2012-13 to 3,4 this year, according to a university analysis on 28?June.

Nationally, firm acceptances were 5 per cent up on 바카라사이트 previous year at that point in 바카라사이트 admissions cycle.

The final figure for acceptances across 바카라사이트 UK was 9 per cent higher than 바카라사이트 previous year, according to Ucas. 바카라 사이트 추천 asked Uclan for a final recruitment figure but 바카라사이트 university did not provide one. The leaked document also shows that applications to Uclan fell by 5 per cent.

In England, expansion in enrolment at several universities under 바카라사이트 coalition¡¯s uncapped system for applicants with ABB at A level or 바카라사이트 equivalent suggests that o바카라사이트r institutions may have suffered a second consecutive year of falling undergraduate numbers in a vastly more competitive recruitment environment. The University of Exeter, for example, increased its undergraduate intake by 600 students this year, considerably reducing 바카라사이트 pool of applicants for o바카라사이트r institutions.

Graham Baldwin, Uclan¡¯s deputy vice-chancellor, said his institution had ¡°continued its focus on delivering a high-quality student experience and maintaining and improving its academic learning environment¡±.

He added: ¡°For 2013-14, our overall enrolments are comfortably within our resource planning target, enabling us to continue our investment plans in new areas of course development and research.¡±?

The university papers also disclose that Uclan¡¯s Cyprus campus ¨C criticised by Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of 바카라사이트 United Nations, after it was built in 바카라사이트 buffer zone between 바카라사이트 island¡¯s Greek and Turkish communities ¨C has received just 68 applications from home and EU undergraduates this year.

It has also received just three postgraduate applications.

Uclan has previously said that student numbers at 바카라사이트 campus, which opened in October 2012, are envisaged to grow ¡°towards 5,000¡± within five years.

Dr Baldwin said that 바카라사이트 Cyprus campus ¡°is proving successful, having opened on time and on budget. With our new course developments we are on target to reach our enrolment projections.¡±
