Admissions: Places at Health in great demand
As many as 4,712 people applied for a place, and 878 got through the eye of the needle into one of the five Bachelor’s degree programmes at Health. All places have thus been filled.
All seats filled. This is the status at Health after this year's admissions. The 878 new students will fill the places on the faculty's five Bachelor’s degree programmes. As many as 4,712 youths have applied for admission to a degree programme at Health and, like previous years, medicine is the most popular programme with almost 3,000 hopeful applicants.
Only a few have declined an offer of admission. At total of 92% of students admitted have accepted a place, and this is one percentage point higher than the 91% who accepted a place in the past two years.
