Claims that overseas students are admitted with lower entry requirements than domestic students denied
Universities have rejected claims that British students are being “squeezed out” by international applicants, including allegations that overseas students are admitted with lower entry requirements than those required for domestic students.
University leaders said the claims were “mendacious” because the reporting by the Sunday Times ignored figures showing rising numbers of UK students enrolled at Russell Group universities, and unfairly compared entry requirements on non-degree courses with those of mainstream undergraduate courses.
