最新的本科申请趋势对建造目的学生的住宿意味着什么？

UCAS的最新数据提供了本科生的本科应用程序和当前学年接受的全面了解，并证明了对高等教育需求的持续力量。总申请人处于创纪录的水平，比上一年增长了2％，而接受仅略有上涨（自2021年以来增加了0.2％），而十年来第二高。这表明了英国对高等教育的需求。最新的数据发布加强了一个事实，即供应不会保持步伐和需求，并因人口统计学和参与率增长而继续增长，而国内18岁的人口（自2020年以来申请增加了14％），国际需求增长高等教育。

The UK is amajor study destinationand currently, international students make up 17.5% of the UK’s full-time undergraduate student population. Undergraduate applications from non-EU students have grown 13.5% over the past year and 80% in the last ten years, further driven by the 2020 changes in post-study visa regulations. Since the Brexit changes to tuition fees in 2021, EU student acceptances declined by 4,405 YoY, but this has been backfilled by the 8,170 increase in non-EU student acceptances in the same time frame. The most robust international markets were China, India, and Nigeria with 13%, 43%, and 33% increases (respectively) in acceptances YoY.

Only medium and lower tariff universities have increased their undergraduate acceptances in 2022/23, a significant shift in historic trend. Higher tariff provider acceptances declined by 15,000 YoY, and 100% of this decline was in domestic students. Furthermore, this is the first drop in intake for higher tariff providers in the last ten years. It is likely that higher tariff providers have had to limit their intake from over-recruitment in 2020 and 2021, during the pandemic when predicted grades were used as a proxy for A-level exams. But this may also be impacted by the declining real term value of undergraduate domestic student tuition fees to universities. The number of international student acceptances at higher tariff providers remained consistent with previous years. International student fees contribute towards filling the funding gap that the domestic tuition fee freeze has created in recent years so this is to be expected. International students are a key occupier of PBSA due to the high specification and turnkey nature of the product. This ease of occupation benefits students who are arriving from a different country for the first time, who may be unfamiliar with how to secure an HMO or private rental, and are typically used to higher standards of accommodation. This consistency in acceptances from higher tariff providers coupled with the increased number of this cohort across the UK will continue to feed demand for PBSA.

Increasing numbers of acceptances by lower and medium tariff providers could mean an increase in the diversity of markets with opportunities for PBSA development over time if this trend persists.

While development conditions become tougher (including planning, viability, and construction costs), and operational costs increase due to inflation, supply will continue to be constrained andbe surpassed by demand significantly。需要更多的PBSA床以跟上英国全日制学生群体持续增长的需求不断增长。这些供应和需求条件也导致了现有的运营PBSA的占用水平更高，鼓励强劲的租赁增长进一步加强了该行业对投资者的吸引力。
