Further information
| Resits accepted? | Resits are accepted for GCSE subjects but the results are to be in place at the time of application. We will only consider A level resits for applicants who narrowly fail to meet our academic criteria because their education and/or examination performance was affected by significant extenuating circumstances. We would not consider an applicant who achieved less than BBB at the first A level sitting for BDS and BBC for DT. Applicants must read the webpage for further details on submitting extenuating circumstances. |
| Widening participation | Applicants that meet the university contextual criteria are given additional consideration when being considered for interview. Applicants that are to be made an offer will be given a 2-grade reduction (ABB). See website for details. |
