As high school students in Britain prepare to see their latest results next week, Claire Marchent, director of university and college admissions services, said it will be more difficult for students in the coming years, and added, "By the time my 13-year-old son arrives From one year to 18 years old, the competition will be much more,” he continued, “We believe that there will be one million university applicants by 2025, compared to 700,000 currently.”

Marchant urged students to consider other options “because it will be difficult to get into college;

There are other ways to get a career without a college degree after years of study.”

She said there would be "disappointment" when exam results are published, as one in five applicants will not get the first choice.

Although universities will try to be flexible, it is unlikely that a large number of candidates will enroll in them.

Students may enroll in some paid courses, for example in medical schools, and have to postpone studies for a year or be asked to study in a different city.

The University of Exeter has already offered medical school applicants £10,000 for a one-year deferment.

But Marchant warned that competition will only get fiercer in the coming years, and young people should consider other options.

At the Russell Group, which includes 24 leading UK universities, applications have risen from 8 to 15% this year.
