Just over half of all students applying for Level 8 or degree courses via this year's CAO have received an offer of a place on their top choice course, and four out of five have been offered one of their top three preferences.

In a year where demographic growth has increased pressure for college places, these figures are lower than last year’s - 51% this year compared to 56% with a first preference Level 8 offer last year, and 80% as opposed to last year’s 83% receiving one of their top three preferences.

At Level 6/7, 90% of students have been offered their top choice, compared to 92% last year.
