The most recent figures show that 18,205 people have applied to the University of Bedfordshire and applications continue to be processed.
Head of UK and EU Admissions Susie King said: “We’ve seen a 20 per cent increase in the number of 18 year-olds applying to us. The number of male applicants is up nearly 14 per cent and we’ve seen a rise of almost 17 per cent in female applicants.
“We are known for our high quality teaching and there is a real demand for places on our nursing, social work and teacher training courses. We have received some very strong applications and are making offers all the time.”
