New policy from Birmingham University

This university is doing a trial of making UNconditional offers to some students who apply before completing their A levels. This will occur only for certain students that they most keen to recruit. It would take the pressure off any applications who accept, but is a recruiting tool and careful consideration of alternative options would need to occur before making that decision.

Very interesting development. though.

University Scholarships

A gap in student online information appears to have been filled by the new site "the scholarship hub". It has information on all scholarships available from universities with a searchable database.

Link can be found on University section of Blog. So good we put it on twice for now.
