We consider all aspects of your application before we decide whether to offer you a place or invite you to interview. For some courses you need to provide evidence of work experience in your personal statement to show that you have taken steps to find out about the profession.
Our decision
UCAS allow us to make three types of offers of admission:
- Unconditional
If you have already obtained the necessary entry qualifications - Conditional
If you still need to obtain the passes/grades specified in the offer. If you obtain these passes, your offer will change to unconditional, meaning you definitely have a place. To secure a place you must meet all conditions of an offer by 31 August. This date also refers to applicants who have deferred their entry to the following year. - Rejected
If you are not suitably qualified
UCAS have a few useful videos on offers and replies which are worth watching.
If you apply for entry to Level 2 or Level 3 but you do not meet the conditions of the offer, you will not be automatically considered for entry to a lower level of entry as there may no longer be vacancies.
