About 583,500 people have submitted applications, an extra 28,000 – a rise of 5.1% – compared to the same time last year, according to statistics published by admissions service Ucas. Last year, 487,300 people won a place. It is highly unlikely that many more places, if any, will be available this year, meaning tens of thousands could miss out. The Ucas figures reveal that 583,501 people had applied by January 24, up from 555,439 at the same point last year – a rise of 28,062.The record increase is likely to be partly down to would-be students in England hoping to start university this year to avoid the tuition fee hike due to be introduced in 2012, and high levels of student debt.
