Meagre growth in postgraduate science, technology, engineering and maths enrolment by UK natives could put courses at English universities in long-term jeopardy, says a report from the Higher Education Funding Council for England, out on 9 September. The low growth coincides with large rises in international enrolment, says the report. Any decrease in overseas enrolment could threaten the “future viability of courses and the overall sustainability of these disciplines” by reducing university income. But the council says that recent rises in native undergraduate enrolment should carry over into postgraduate totals.
