Figures from UK university admissions service UCAS show computer science has seen a steady rise in popularity over the last decade.
The final release of university and college-level application and acceptance figures for the 2020 cycle demonstrate the growing interest in the once less-than-hip subject. Acceptance on courses has risen by almost a half from 20,420 in 2011 to 30,090 in 2020.
More tech students is a good thing because they can help their fellow freshers log on to lectures via Zoom while they wonder what exactly the £12k fees are going towards while locked down in warren-like accommodation, we can only assume.

The application and acceptance data for the 2020 cycle has revealed that STEM subjects are continuing to increase in popularity with acceptance to computer science courses rising from 20,420 in 2011 to 30,090 in 2020 and acceptances to engineering degrees up from 25,995 in 2011 to 31,545 in 2020.
Lydia Amarquaye, education policy adviser at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, described the figures as encouraging, adding that the IMechE hopes to see a further increase as young people see the value and employability of engineers through their response to challenges prevented by the pandemic.
