80 UCAS tariff points
A minimum of grade 4 (C) in English Language and Mathematics
We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care or are the first in their family to enter Higher Education. Those who are eligible may receive a conditional offer with reduced entry requirements, typically two grades lower for A-levels and one grade (or eight tariff points) for BTEC or mixed qualifications.
Read our contextual admissions policy for eligibility criteria and further information.
Typically the only scenario where we make conditional offers expressed as UCAS tariff points is when an applicant presents mixed qualifications, most typically a combination of A-levels and a BTEC qualification.
In this instance, we may make a tariff point offer to present the applicant with more flexibility on equivalencies. In this case, please be aware that we may still ask for a specific score across certain qualifications and subjects. E.g. ‘This offer is conditional on you achieving 128 tariff points. This must include A-level Mathematics at grade B.’
We do not accept General Studies and Critical Thinking. These subjects will not be included in any conditional offer we make.
We welcome applications from students who are completing relevant EPQ Projects. Whilst we recognise the value of these projects in preparing students for independent learning at university, the EPQ is unlikely to form part of any conditional offer we make.
The EPQ will also not lower the specifics of any conditional offer we choose to make. We will consider the EPQ as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.
We recognise that there will be differences of opportunity varying by school and college. As not all students will have the opportunity to sit AS Level exams, it is unlikely we will include AS Level grades in any offer we choose to make. Where students have completed an AS Level subject, we will consider this as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.
Please contact our admissions team for further information.
If your first language is not English, we will require evidence of English language proficiency.
Minimum requirements are:
IELTS 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each component.
For more information, including other acceptable tests, please see the full list of English language requirements at City.
