Scottishuniversities, faced with a falling population at home, are to target students in England in the hope of picking up "fees refugees" when top-up fees are introduced south of the border next year.
And although politicians in the Scottish Parliament have been quick to raise the spectre of universities being swamped by English students seeking to avoid top-up fees of up to £3,000 a year, some universities are seeing this as good way to preserve numbers and standards.
Aberdeen University faces a particular problem because the population of the city, where it has always recruited strongly, is predicted to fall by 7.6% by 2008 and 22.6% by 2018.
Scottishuniversities will receive £843m for teaching and research in the coming year and a further £28m to improve teaching facilities, the funding council announced today.
Despite Scotland's falling population, the number of student places is being maintained as universities brace themselves for a rush of applicants from England - a 17% increase for 2005 - and the enlarged European Union.
In total Scottishuniversities are to receive £148m for teaching and learning facilities over the next three years.
