A fall in admission of prospective students into UK universities.

The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) statistics for 2010 recently released shows that more than 210,000 prospective students were not admitted into universities in the UK. Also the number of British students accepted in courses falls by 400, in spite of an increase in international students in the UK.
Some universities welcome the rise, cautioning against cuts in student visas for the UK.

There are concerns about high demand for university placements this year, as students hastening to beat tuition fee rises in 2012 compete with those who failed to get admissions in 2009-10.
