Despite all the recent news about falling university applications from students in the UK, due, it is claimed, to the increased fee levels that are now in force, the attraction of science courses appears to be undiminished. In fact, some science subjects may be even more popular in terms of gaining a degree than recent increases in applications may have indicated.
According to figures published last week by the UK higher education admissions service (UCAS), applications from budding chemical engineers have increased by 12.4% to reach 11,890, compared with the same time in 2011. Although overall applications for physical sciences have fallen slightly by 0.6%, applications for all UK university courses have fallen by over 7%. These are the first figures to have been published since the introduction of higher tuition fees, which have risen as high as £9000/year.
