School leavers across the UK are preparing to start university next month after receiving their exam results.
School leavers across the UK are preparing to start university in September
In a blog for the Higher Education Policy Institute think tank, Mr Blakey said there were 13,543 new bed spaces in purpose-built student accommodation this year, compared with 29,048 in 2020. The blog on HEPI’s website highlights “significant housing shortages” for students in Brighton, Bristol, Durham, Glasgow, Manchester and York last year.
It suggests that significant numbers of international postgraduate students have found it hard to find somewhere appropriate to live, and many are in temporary accommodation which “adversely affects their studies”. “The problems stem from high interest rates, which make building new accommodation less affordable, excessive regulation, seen most clearly in Scotland in recent years, and deflation in students’ real incomes, which makes it harder for them to cover rent.”
