It comes amid a rise in the number of international students at British universities, with 679,970 studying in the UK in 2021-22.

Undergraduate fees have been capped at £9,250 for domestic students since 2017, whereas there is no limit on fees for international students.

Ten Russell Group universities were offering places on more courses to international students than British students the weekend before A-level results day on Thursday.

They include Durham University, which had no courses available to UK students over the weekend. However, it was advertising 90 degrees to international students, ranging from accounting and ancient history to physics and computer science.

Liverpool University also had no courses on offer to UK students, but had 581 on offer to international students – including aerospace engineering, biochemistry, business management, and English literature.

Leeds is advertising only 13 courses to UK applicants, including nursing, midwifery, and arts and humanities with a foundation year. However, it is marketing 181 courses to international students.

British students have been warned that competition for places through clearing will be tougher this month than in recent years.
