From the BBC ...
As many as 240,000 extra university places could be needed to meet the growing demand
for higher education by 2010, an independent think tank says.
The demand for new places - equivalent to 16 universities - would be driven by the rising number of 18 to 20-year-olds and improving A-level results, it says.
The Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) also believes more EU students will want to attend UK universities.
Hepi said funding had to be improved or universities would struggle to cope.
