UCAS Chief Executive Clare Marchant attributed the upswing in computing applications to the growing fascination with artificial intelligence and advancements in digital technology. The data indicated a substantial 9.5-percent increase in applications to computing courses by 18-year-olds in the UK since the previous year, elevating it to the seventh most popular course for prospective students
A new analysis by UCAS projects that if offer-making patterns remain unchanged, 8.6 percent of the most disadvantaged students will not receive any university offers in 2030 due to intensified competition for placements.
The report also said that 88 percent of these statements are primarily utilized to gauge applicants’ interest in a particular course, while 65 percent used to gather contextual information, and 40 percent are used to assess academic potential.
