Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

You can be confident we treat every applicant fairly, and if you join us at Brighton it will be on merit. At Brighton we recognise that grades are not always a full indicator of potential and for some students achieving higher grades can be more challenging because of circumstances outside of their control.

We use our Contextual Admissions Policy to take certain factors into account when we look at your application and these factors may mean we make you a reduced grade, contextual offer.
