This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There are not currently limits on the number of students who can study certain courses.

The Government has run a consultation on higher education reform, including the possibility of student number controls, but the Government has not yet published the outcome of this consultation, or said whether it will implement limits on student numbers.

You can read the Government's consultation here: consult.education.gov.uk/higher-education-reform/higher-education-he-reform/supporting_documents/HE_reform_commandpaperweb_version.pdf

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to commit not to limiting the number of places universities can offer for certain courses, if that's what you want to happen.
