Our grades for 2021
We know you've had your education massively disrupted due to the global pandemic, that's why we've reduced our entry requirements for 2021.
For A-level students we have generally lowered our typical offers by one grade and our contextual offers by two grades, and we’ve made similar adjustments to other qualifications.
You can see our new requirements on each undergraduate course.
You can also browse our Foundation Year courses or find out more about our contextual offers.

Covid-19 update
We understand this is still a complex time for anyone arriving at or planning to apply for university.
Some universities are having to change the way they teach during the global pandemic. This means you may not have the face-to face contact time you normally would when studying. You may find you are using online tools and attending seminars and lectures virtually. Teaching methods may also vary depending on subject area or course.
