Oxford University warns of losing talented students - By Sean Coughlan
 
BBC News education correspondent - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-15170451 -

"Oxford University's vice-chancellor has warned that a lack of funding will make it difficult to compete with international rivals.

Professor Andrew Hamilton warned that the UK's universities would struggle to compete for the best research students in the "global market for talent".

This was not only about competing with top US universities, but also China and India, said Prof Hamilton.

The UK's higher education sector would "increasingly lose out", he said.

In his annual speech, Prof Hamilton highlighted concerns about funding for postgraduate research."
