University student numbers set to fall
More than a quarter of universities could see at least a 10% drop in student numbers as a result of Government reforms, official figures show.
Many of those set to be hardest hit by the Government's overhaul of student places are newer institutions that plan on charging more than £7,500 from this autumn.
In total, around three in four universities are likely to have an overall drop in numbers, according to data published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).
