Significant reduction in number of courses where random selection was used
There were points rises across a number of course areas such as science, business and the environment.
One of the courses where a lottery is being used – Trinity’s management science and information management systems studies – is on the maximum points requirement of 625. He said it was linked to “investment in college places in particular on courses where there is high demand” over recent years and colleges responding to demand in popular courses.
The drop in points for medicine was notable, meanwhile, given that it is traditionally among the most sought-after college courses.This is likely a reflection of the fact that 120 additional medicine places have been created between last year and this year.
