Yeah, a lot of universities are in Massive Panic mode because a huge percentage of their income comes from international fees. They are going to be heading into clearing in a desperate attempt to hoover up as many domestic students as they can to try to shore up their finances. It’s a buyer’s market if you’re a student - even if you get your grades you’d be well advised to go into clearing anyway to see if you can get an upgrade on your current offer. Someone at the bottom of this food chain is going to get absolutely fucked though, and there’s no guarantee the government will step in to bail anyone out given their generalised antipathy to higher education.
It’s almost like the marketisation of the university sector was a fucking terrible idea.
