Competition for Scottish students

The number of seats available for Scottish students to study in Scotland doesn't match the growing number of applicants (23% increase from 2010-15). The example of Scotland raises questions about public funding of higher education, targeting enrollment to different student sectors, and the outcome of who has access to pursue university study in the country. Fifty percent of Scottish students and 63% of international students were admitted in the last round resulting in 19% of Scottish students being shut out of attending university in Scotland through funded seats set aside for them.
