What do you do if you don’t get into your first-choice university? This dilemma faces thousands of British students every year. Many such candidates turn to Clearing, a service that helps find university places for students at the last moment. If they don’t have the marks to get into their institution of first choice, Clearing tells them about places available at other university, though they might have to read a different subject.
This year has seen a record number of people applying to university. This, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market, and budget cuts at universities, has produced even more of a scramble for places than usual. Some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate place. Some British students might consider an interesting alternative; studying abroad. The UK’s Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, is encouraging students who haven’t made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home.
