Academically adrift
“Applications from the EU to Oxford, Cambridge, medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses have fallen by 9%, with a 16% fall in those who applied to medicine. This is in spite of the government’s recent confirmation of continued funding for EU students applying for 2017, though the announcement may have come too late for many applicants. It’s still early in the cycle though, and numbers could yet recover, but the numbers are not helping the jitters.”
(BTW, the previous article is titled ‘Are we academically adrift?’ after the US book and survey (AKA: ‘students don’t learn nuttin at college’). Troubled waters. All puns intended.)
