The number of students due to start university in the autumn has hit a new high, with more than 375,000 having won a degree place by yesterday.
The 8.4% increase in successful applications compared with the same point last year - a total of 30,000 additional students - may be being fuelled by a renaissance in traditional degree subjects, the university admissions services Ucas suggested.

The number applying for biology is up by three percentage points, chemistry by five points, physics by four points, mathematics by seven points, and engineering subjects by six points.
The most popular degree is now law, followed by design, psychology and English.
