Potential lack of university places, think-tank warns There may not be enough university places to satisfy demand, it has been revealed.

According to the Guardian, a university think-tank report to be revealed tomorrow (June 30th) by the newspaper is set to show more than 40,000 potential students could miss out as a result of a lack of funding.

The government is only allowing institutions to take on an extra 10,000 more students than they were able to last year, despite a rise in interest, the newspaper reported.

Citing the Million+ figures, it revealed 5,000 extra places have been withdrawn to help reduce the cost of fiscal support to students.

"Students who could benefit from going to university could end up on the dole queue," explained the body's chief executive Pam Tatlow, who said the situation was "a bit of a mess".
