Universities are expected to offer extra places to students with AAB A-level grades Universities Minister David Willets has said that 85,000 places would go to students with AAB A-level grades. This is around one in four entrants who are more likely to achieve their first choice. He also commented that the higher education bill that was set to introduce a raft of reforms is now unlikely.
Mr Willets did say that the white paper which was submitted last summer, yet many changes, such as promoting more of a market for university places is already going ahead and removing the limit on places for applicants who attain AAB grades or better.
This has meant that there are 20,000 more places than was previously expected available to top grade A-level students. The impact of the reforms is predicted to have an adverse affect on student attitudes, as they scrutinise the teaching and courses.
There has been a lot of debate surrounding overseas students; with the new visa arrangements students could be given the impression that UK universities aren’t available. Therefore there is a need for larger scale arrangements between the UK and Higher Education institutions abroad.
