Rise in university applications slows amid fears about degree costs

Research reveals £9,000-a-year tuition fees would have deterred many current undergraduates from going to university

The rapid increase in the number of young people applying to UK universities over the last five years appears to be tailing off, statistics show. The figures come as research reveals that half of today's undergraduates would not have gone to university if they had been forced to pay £9,000-a-year tuition fees.

Figures published by the University and College Admissions Service (Ucas) on Tuesday show that the number of applicants – while at a record high – has only increased by 2.1% in the last year.

Between 2007 and 2008, the number of applicants grew by 8.3%. A year later, this figure climbed to 8.8%. Between 2009 and 2010, the growth was 15.3%.

Cameron contradicts Clegg over internships

David Cameron has defended the allocation of internship placements to the children of friends and colleagues, undermining one of Nick Clegg's flagship policies for improving social mobility.

The Prime Minister said he was "very relaxed" about awarding work experience positions to personal acquaintances and had offered one himself to a neighbour.

Earlier this month, Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister Mr Clegg criticised the monopolisation of valuable internships by the children of the well-connected.

He urged companies to appoint interns in a more transparent and meritocratic way so that youngsters from less advantaged backgrounds had the same opportunities to get into competitive careers.

The Graduate Experience

Latisha Ma has recently put together an amateur mini documentary featuring Chris Grayling, the Employment Minister and our very own Andrew Scherer, to name but a few. This an excellent balanced approach to the debate surrounding the relevancy of degrees to the world of employment and internships.

Well worth a watch!

Best bit of your internship

Getting to work in a fairly small, friendly office in Clerkenwell and experiencing the world of digital creativity firsthand! I've had the chance to join in with a lot of interesting projects, taking part in brainstorms, and research. I was even involved in the launch of an 'inhouse' created website for a big brand.

Worst bit of your internship

Rush hour!

Where do you see yourself in five years time?

Living in London, in a better flat, hopefully being able to write in some capacity and working with like minded people.

Describe yourself in fewer than three words

Outgoing, tall, cheese-eater.
