Once received, your application will be considered. If we are able to make you an offer, there are four possible outcomes.

UNCONDITIONAL OFFERS

If you have already met all the entry requirements, then we can make you an unconditional offer. This means you definitely have a place on your chosen course.

Conditional offers

If you have not met all the entry requirements yet or might be waiting to take exams or receive results, we may make you a conditional offer. This offer means we will accept you on our course, as long as you achieve the appropriate qualifications.

CONTEXTUAL OFFERS

This means we are asking for less UCAS points than our standard offer. Contextual offers are made to those applicants who are in one or more groups of people who are underrepresented in higher education. For example, students over the age of 21, or students who live in an area where less people go to university than the national average.

invitation to interview

As part of the application process some of our courses have an interview. This is an opportunity to showcase your enthusiasm and skills for the course, as well as share any relevant experience you have.

offer on another course

If we are unable to make you an offer on the course you have applied for we may make you an offer on an alternative course that, based on your application, we feel might be of interest to you and something you would enjoy and excel at.

2. Applicant Days

If you have applied for a course at Leeds Beckett, we will invite you to one of our 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.

3. Course interviews

Some of our courses invite applicants to interviews, instead of Applicant Days. If your course requires an interview, our Admissions team will contact you with all the details. Depending on the course you applied for this could be an interview or audition, or submission of a portfolio.

4. Accommodation

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

If you accept your place 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.
