The UK’s 67m population is growing at a healthy 1% pa clip, albeit there was a slight dip in the birth rate at the turn of the Millennium (see below). Leading this year to a 3% fall in the number of 18 year olds, and a 1.9% decline in British students accepting places at University (UCAS). Offset partially by a 3%-4% increase in overseas applications, leaving the total 2018/19 freshers’ intake very marginally lower (-1.1%) at c. 530k.
