Where have all the students gone? [IT degree]

Abstract

According to a 2006 study by Lancaster University, computer science and IT degree applications had halved in five years; E-Skills UK, the sector skills council responsible for promoting education and skills in the high-tech industry, found that total applications for all higher education courses rose 12 per cent between 2002 and 2005, but applications for computer sciences and IT-related related courses fell by a third.
