Surge in applications after university undercuts rivals

A SCOTTISH university that undercut its rivals in setting fees for students from the rest of the UK has seen a dramatic rise in applications as other parts of the sector have reported a decline.

Glasgow University recorded an 11.4% increase in interest from students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland (RUK). This includes a 22% rise in the number of applications from England and a 37% increase in those applying from Wales.
