UCAS entries slightly up whereas psychology is slightly down.
March 24th, 2008 | by Mark Holah |
The latest figures from UCAS show a continued rise in the number of university applicants.
As of 15 January (the date by which applicants should apply to be given equal consideration) there were 430,489 people applying for a full-time undergraduate course at UK universities and colleges – a rise of 8.9% or 35,182.
Although the top five subject choices remain the same at this point in the year as last year there are changes in order.
Psychology has fallen from second to third choice.
Law by area remains top, pre-clinical medicine climbs from third to second, psychology falls to third and English studies and management studies swap places and are now fourth and fifth respectively.
