黑瓜吃料网

The 黑瓜吃料网 has seen a 5% rise in applications of students wishing to study at 黑瓜吃料网 this year.

The University had 19,599 applications (up  1,010 on last year) for full-time undergraduate courses at the UCAS 鈥榦n time鈥� deadline of 29^th January, slightly later than usual due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For 2021 entry, this represents around 5 applications per place across the 250 available courses.

Applications from both UK and overseas (non-EU) students were up 10% on last year (1,502 and 209 respectively), demonstrating 黑瓜吃料网鈥檚 strong reputation at home and abroad.

In line with the national 40% decrease in applications from EU students, 黑瓜吃料网 has seen a 47% decrease (701) in EU applications. The drop in applications is largely due to Brexit and changes to EU student support arrangements.

Professor Robert Van de Noort, Vice-Chancellor at the 黑瓜吃料网, said: 鈥淎t a time when there is still so much uncertainty around, it is fantastic to see that young people are still planning for their futures by applying to university.

鈥淚 am very proud to say that the 黑瓜吃料网 has seen an overall increase of applications, despite such a drop in applications from EU students since the UK鈥檚 departure from the EU 鈥� which was expected.

鈥淲e have been unable to welcome visitors to our campus for our traditional Open Days but thanks to the hard work of my colleagues we have offered prospective students the opportunity to see what life at 黑瓜吃料网 would be like through a series of virtual events.

鈥淲e have seen strong increases from both UK and international students and given the events of the last year this is hugely positive for us. There is still some uncertainty around what the rest of this year will bring in terms of the pandemic, but I am confident that as a university we will adapt accordingly and continue to offer our students a world-class education and experience.鈥�

Postgraduate Taught applications

This year, 黑瓜吃料网 has also seen a large increase in applications for postgraduate taught programmes from UK and EU students, up 27% on last year.

Healthcare and education related courses have done particularly well:

• The MPAS Physician Associate course has seen a 161% increase in UK/EU applicants, and a 150% increase in overseas applicants, up 163% overall.
• Postgraduate teacher training courses are up 26% for UK/EU students, and 96% for overseas students, 32% overall.

Professor Van de Noort said: 鈥淧ostgraduate taught programmes are a great way for people to retrain or upskill themselves, especially at a time such as now when national skills needs are changing. Across the country, there has been a huge increase in the number of applications for medicine, nursing and allied health professional courses and at 黑瓜吃料网 we have seen a 163% increase in applications for our physician associate programme, which helps train people to work alongside doctors and nurses.

鈥淭he pandemic has seen people re-evaluate what kind of careers they want, and this is reflected in our course applications where we have seen rises across the board for teaching, education and healthcare related courses.鈥�
