On 15 July we hosted the 30 June deadline data webinar. During this session, we delved into the latest figures, what this could mean for C&C 2024, and how students are feeling ahead of results days.

Here's a snapshot of what we discussed:

Application trends

• Overall increase in 18-year-old applicants
• Both London (0.3%) and Scotland (2.1%) have seen an increase in applicant numbers, whilst all other UK regions have seen a decline

Student sentiment

• 42% of offer holders are aware of cost of living information provided by universities and find it useful, a significant increase of awareness compared to last year and earlier in the cycle
