What your offer means

Use this guide to understand your offer, how to accept and all the key dates and deadlines you need to be aware of.

Once we have assessed your application, you may have been made one of the following offers:

Conditional offer

An offer whereby you must fulfil certain criteria (such as specific grades) before you can be accepted onto the course.

Unconditional offer

An offer where you’ve already satisfied the entry requirements for your chosen course. Congratulations, the place is yours.

Alternative offer

We may make you an alternative offer after an interview or portfolio submission, or because the course you have applied for is full.

Responding to your offer

If you applied through UCAS:

When you have decisions for all of your applications, you’ll see an alert on UCAS Hub, advising you to reply to your offers in one of the following ways:

  • Firm acceptance – your first choice.
  • Insurance acceptance – your second choice.
  • Decline – you no longer wish to attend.

If you accept an unconditional offer as your firm choice, your place will be confirmed at that university and you won't need to make an insurance choice. You will need to decline any other offers.

If you make a conditional offer your firm choice, choose another university as your insurance choice. Your insurance choice should have lower offer conditions than your firm, so that if you don't meet the requirements for your firm choice, you are likely to meet the conditions of your insurance choice.
