is talking about the expansion of enrollment in British universities today. After all, the issue of reverse study abroad has been popular recently. Let’s analyze why and in British universities have expanded their enrollment, and what is the root cause?
1. The intake rate is low
In recent years, British universities seem to be booming, with a huge number of applications, but the application data is actually inflated. Why did
say that?
Firstly, because it was also the year of the epidemic, many students did not go after being admitted, and there were many defers, which caused a large part of the loss of students. Unlike before, although the number of applications is not so large, the final registration rate is high, and there are more unconditional offers after conditions, and more admissions in the end.
The second is that many students feel insecure now because it is too difficult to apply to prestigious schools. Many students are Hai Shen, and not everyone wants to be Hai Wang. It's just that I don't want Britain to lose itself. There are too many students in Neptune, which actually caused a lot of invalid applications, and some students applied to one school for more than one, especially for schools like kcl and University of Manchester, , many students had retaliatory applications. ucl did the same before, but because the intake rate was too low in the end, the school restricted it.
The third is that many students apply from multiple countries. Players who apply from multiple countries often end up releasing British pigeons because of environmental problems and the upper limit of the school's ranking. Many students end up going to places like Hong Kong and Singapore.
The fourth is that some students are relatively high-spirited and cannot apply for the top 100 of qs, and some even cannot apply for the top 50 of qs, so they really don’t want to go. Some students are more pursuing the school's brand name and cost performance. They are more serious about this matter. If they don't get a good school, they will consider going to Tu'ao, which is a better way to enter the market.
The above circumstances resulted in a huge number of applications, but in fact the school’s final enrollment rate dropped year by year. The school issued the expected offer for this year based on the enrollment rate of the previous year. So there will be over-admission phenomenon.
Second, the overall application volume has indeed increased significantly
The increase in the number of people is also an indisputable fact. After all, the number of applications from international students in the UK has surpassed that of the US last year. As far as the base of more than 100 schools in the UK is concerned, one can know how much pressure the schools in the UK, especially the schools with the top qs, are under. The surge in applications for
is actually due to various reasons. One is that the positive news in the UK is also relatively concentrated. In particular, the two visas of psw (graduate visa) and scale up are very powerful, and there are more opportunities and possibilities for international students to stay. Even students who do not want to stay in the UK have more opportunities to do an internship for a while before returning to China. It will increase their competitiveness in returning home for employment.
In addition, the low unemployment rate in the UK is also very attractive to international students, after all, there are relatively more jobs now. Compared with the domestic employment environment, the UK actually has one more channel.
In addition to the policy, it is actually because of the persuasion from the domestic side. Luben students are now highly competitive in the employment environment and there are a large number of people. Some students just want to go out and change their track, because the economy is in a downturn. In fact, the more mainland students are addicted to continue studying. The huge increase in applications for
also brings many problems. One is that the previous problems will be repeated, and the other is that it will lead to vicious competition. Many students have to apply more to secure positions. The application data will be more false.
Third, many students who are already working also come to join in the fun
Especially in recent years, because the epidemic is still there, many students can still take online classes. Although the quality of online courses is poor, it is a perfect match for some students who want to improve their academic background. They don't need the quality of the classes, they just want to get the diploma smoothly. It would be even better if they can get the diploma without going out of the house.
Many students who have work experience, as well as graduates who upgraded to , all kinds of students who didn't think much about going out, also took advantage of this wave of online courses to get their diplomas.
Because there is more demand here, and the school is also working hard, so more offers are issued. After all, online course fees are not discounted, and they are more happy to generate income and expand enrollment. In fact, this category is especially aimed at some lower-level schools, and it is currently doing particularly well.
summed up the conclusion: Overall, there are many reasons for the serious expansion of enrollment in the UK.
Environmental reasons are the main reason, and the others are just policy reasons. If you want to say how much the school wants to expand enrollment, it is not. If it is like expanding enrollment, why didn’t it expand enrollment on a large scale before. It has only gotten worse over the past few years.
The reason is that the intake rate is low. They have to adjust the data. Now that the epidemic situation has improved and the intake rate has risen again, they will reduce the amount of offer issuance. A good school like UCL, with a major in management, has to issue nearly 600 condition offers a year. But in the end, more than 130 people were admitted. And it will be supplemented until the end of August next year. You said that UCL is like this, but other schools are actually even more so.
