Record numbers of school leavers in England are flocking to snap up university places and fill gaps left by the collapse in EU student applications, according to the latest data.
The number of students accepting a place has outstripped last year’s record, with 435,000 students finding spots within a day of receiving their A-level results, an increase of 5,000 on last year, according to data from the University and College Admissions Service (Ucas).
