| Widening participation | Access to Leeds is a contextual admissions scheme which accepts applications from individuals who might be from low income households, in the first generation of their immediate family to apply to higher education, or have had their studies disrupted. This can be two grades lower than the published entry requirement for each course. So for example, if the course entry requirement is AAA – the Access to Leeds offer could be ABB Low Progression Neighbourhoods: If you live in a neighbourhood where there is low participation in higher education, we may be able to give priority to your application. If you receive an offer, this could be reduced by one A-level grade (or equivalent), in most cases. You don’t need to apply separately: if you are from a Low Participation Neighbourhood we will automatically give your UCAS application additional consideration.
