Understanding your offer

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:

  • Unconditional offer – an offer where you’ve already satisfied the entry requirements for your chosen course. Congratulations, the place is yours.
  • Conditional offer – an offer whereby you must fulfil certain criteria (such as specific grades) before you can be accepted onto the course.
  • Alternative offer – if we are unable to make you an offer for the course you applied for, we may make you an offer for an alternative course that we think would be a good fit based on your application. We may make you an alternative offer after an interview or portfolio submission, or because the course you have applied for is full.

Find out more about how we make offers, including the terms and conditions of your offer.

If you applied through UCAS:

When you’ve received decisions for all of your university applications, you’ll see an alert displayed on your UCAS Hub page, advising you to reply to your offers.

You will need to reply to each of your offers in one of the following ways:

  • Unconditional – If you accept this as your firm (first) choice then your place is confirmed.
  • Conditional – You can choose one course as your firm choice and one as your insurance (second) choice. Make sure the offer you accept as insurance has lower offer conditions than your firm. This way, if you don’t get the grades you were expecting for your firm choice, you are likely to meet the conditions of your insurance choice.
  • You’ll need to decline any other offers you’ve received.

If you applied to NTU directly:

If you've applied to us directly, you can view and accept your offer on the Applicant Portal.
