after you apply

When you've received all your decisions from the universities you've applied to, you will be asked to make a Firm (first) and Insurance (second) choice. Visit our Applicants pages to see what's in store on your journey to university and how we can help you make an informed decision.

If you change your mind about your Firm and Insurance choices, contact UCAS first. They’ll let you know if they can make the change straight away or if you’ll need to loop us in.  

If you have received decisions from all your choices, and weren’t made any others, or if you declined the offers you received, you will be able to use Extra. 

Once you've applied for a course at Leeds Beckett, we'll invite you to one of our Offer Holder Days (formerly Applicant Days). These events are subject specific and designed to provide you with more detailed information about your course, as well as the chance to meet the staff who will be teaching you and current students. You'll get a real feel for what it’s like to be a student with us, see where you will be studying, and discover where you could be living.

Once you've accepted a place with us, you'll need to think about where to live.

If you make Leeds Beckett your firm choice and book before 30 June, we will also guarantee you a place in student accommodation.

You might prefer to live in private rented accommodation rather than halls of residence. If so, you should start looking for places to live as soon as you’ve accepted your place. You can visit Unipol Student Homes for help with this.

Lots of our students prefer to stay at home while studying with us and if that's something you're thinking about, check out our information on staying at home while studying to help you decide.

Applications for student funding for the 2026/27 academic year are expected to open in mid-March. Please check  Gov.uk - Apply online for student finance for updates.

It is best to submit your application as soon as possible to ensure you have an idea of what your finances will be as a student. Find out more about financing your studies here.

Depending on the qualifications you’re studying your results might come straight to us. If not, we will ask you to send them our way. Once we’ve got your results, and any other information to evidence meeting the conditions of your offer, we’ll decide if we can confirm your place.

Our final decision will show on your UCAS Hub account.

If you don’t meet the conditions of your offer, try not to worry because you do have options. Once we receive your results, we’ll look at your application as a whole to see if we are still able to confirm your place. If not, we might suggest another similar course.

If Plan A doesn’t pan out, Clearing is there to help you.
