Mr. Hillman said that if the financial pressure on universities has meant cutting services suggests that support services for Mental Health "is not at The Front of the queue for cuts".

About a fifth of the students in the survey had made a clearing, and only 54% of these said they would choose the same course and University again.

'clarity'

the universities are preparing to open locations for the Autumn and the candidates are wondering how the courses are taught, whether online or in-person, or a mixture of both.

The Higher Education , has said that Microsoft Office for students, the universities in England to apply The Information that you need to give to 18. June is the deadline for a solid choice.

And there will be clarity about how much is paid, the fees and how is The Course assessed.
