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.
Contextual information is used to support accessibility to all who have the potential to succeed. Qualifications and grades are important but are considered alongside other information that helps us identify potential and widen access to study. We consider an individual’s circumstances alongside their grades & may accept someone with a lower grade profile based on personal circumstances, particularly those impacted during the pandemic. Our entry requirements are now higher than previous cycles.
