Home/international students
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 5:08 pm
I've read recently that home applications for universities are down (no surprise there with the current fees!) and international applicant numbers are up from previous years.
How does this affect our children's chances of getting a place?
Is there a certain, limited number of places for international students or is it just a free for all and those who are best get the places, international or not?
Or does it depend on each university? My daughter is thinking of human or animal medicine which are both obviously high oversubscribed and already difficult to get into.
Thanks and sorry if its a silly question but I've been bothered by this, despite only being Y8 at the mo! I know there is a further rumour of fees being reduced again but only to £7500 per year and not necessarily the oversubscribed courses.
