UCAS eyes up new FE places
Article Abstract:
The UK Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) is holding negotiations with the Association of Colleges to establish whether the 215 colleges that run higher education courses but do not belong to UCAS wish to join. UCAS believes that the current situation, in which those wishing to take a higher national diploma course can apply through UCAS or separately to a specific institution, is not satisfactory. The next UCAS board meeting in Sep 1999 is likely to consider whether to admit further education colleges running sub-degree courses.

Ucas: no rush to beat top-ups
Article Abstract:
The number of students applying to start university this year are only slightly up on last year, according to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, despite fears that students would rush to start university this year in order to avoid the introduction of top-up fees in 2006. The number of full-time students at universities in the UK rose by under 1% in 2004 to 377,544.
