2012 witnessed a more rigid clearing round potentially concentrating on budding students. Besides, it was found that record high applicants were actually able to achieve placements. Reports show that this year’s prospects are not less either.

It has been found that more than around 55700 candidates were able to gain their college or university position through clearing; while, 1329 students could gain their placement through adjustment. This prospective route is especially meant for potential candidates who strive for positions in more challenging scenarios. The adjustment number doubled that of 2011’s results.

UCAS’s relationship and management director, Andrea Robertson has said that several applicants came out with a smile because they were able to find a position in universities and colleges desired by them. 2012 was one of the luckiest years for aspirants.

However the situation turned much challenging for the academic institutions. Earlier enrollment seats were limited. Since last year, placement applications came rolling in millions; especially for students applying for the AAB positions, which were unlimited. With most institutions barring applicants and also with the fall of grades like A and A+, a good number of universities and colleges were struggling to get a position in the Clearing. Meanwhile, the struggle made way for prestigious educational institutions. Several colleges and universities had made it to the Clearing list.

Furthermore it has also been found out that last year experienced a sharp hike in college and university fees. They had already paid a massive £9000 for tuition charges. The fee hike spurned a large number of enrollments. Thus, the total number of students slashed down by 46000 from 2011-2012. This however revealed that students took greater time to decide on whether or whether not to enroll into a college or university course.

Cathy Gilbert, the Birmingham University’s external relations director assumes that 2013 is going to be as competitive as the previous years. She has even asserted that placements in highly reputed universities would only contribute to the possibilities of receiving better grades.

Even this year, the fees will tend to remain high thus posing a threat for students. However there might be a slight alteration in the enrollment since universities are going to act leniently with students achieving ABB. Robertson says that there are positions left for aspirants who are ready to relocate.

Today, there are vacancies available on medicines and several other related disciplines. While some vacancies will be filled up soon, others are going to be advertised by the month of September, this year. It is believed that applicants have to struggle to get a desirable position. However, students have to remember one thing that universities are equally interested in offering them vacancies as much as students are interested to fill the positions. The reports clearly show that distance learning has become one of the most sought after academic approaches making a mark in today’s word. Students are repeatedly seeking distance learning to comply with the much demanding employment scenario. Employers are highly considering candidates with specialized degrees; hence students are readily seeking courses online to achieve competence in various areas of specialization.
