Uni applications down on last year

APPLICATIONS for places at the University of Bedfordshire are down almost 10 per cent on last year according to figures releases by admissions service UCAS.

More than 18,000 students from across the UK have applied to study at the uni starting this autumn. But although numbers are down on last year’s record applications, they are still up on the previous year (2010) despite the imminent introduction of tuition fees.

The 9.2 per cent drop is roughly in line with the national trend.

Susie King, head of student admissions at the uni, said: “Despite the small fall in UCAS applications this year, Bedfordshire continues to enjoy high levels of applications and student enquirers.

“We are also actively planning for the Clearing period which starts on Thursday August 16 – the day after A-level results are published – when more students will enrol, pushing up the figures.”

The University has just 3,000 places available this year.
