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.
At King’s we don’t just use your grades to assess your application. We recognise that not everyone has the same educational journey and that some students have had to overcome challenges to achieve their grades.
Contextual offers are made to applicants who may have experienced barriers that have impeded their academic progress. Contextual offers may be up to two A-Level grades (or equivalent) lower than the advertised entry requirements found on the course pages.
