Receiving your offer

The University makes two types of offer:

  • Unconditional offer: you are guaranteed entry.
  • Conditional offer: your entry to the University depends on achieving the grades specified in your offer.

We make conditional offers if you're currently studying and haven't yet got the qualifications needed for your course. These qualifications could be in academic subjects or English language qualifications, or both.

We make unconditional offers if you already have the qualifications needed for your course and you meet all other entry requirements.

Please read the terms of your offer carefully. If there is anything you don't understand, or the offer doesn't match the qualifications you're currently taking, contact our Enquiries team with your UCAS Personal ID.

You may be invited to an offer holders' visit day, which is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about your course and student life.
