WHAT DO UNCONDITIONAL, CONDITIONAL AND WITHDRAWN UNIVERSITY OFFERS MEAN?
A conditional offer means you still need to meet certain requirements – usually specific exam results.
For example, this could be that a student needs to achieve ABB to be accepted onto a specific course at a particularly university.
Certain courses may also be required – for example, an A in chemistry and at least two other sciences or mathematics.
Conditional offers can also be made for a certain number of UCAS Tariff points, including BTECs, as well as International Baccalaureate Diploma and Scottish Higher grades.
An unconditional offer means you’ve already met the entry requirements so the place is yours if you want it, although there might still be a few things to arrange.
For example, to begin the course you might need to get a DBS or PVG check or meet some financial or medical requirements.
An unsuccessful application means the university has chosen not to offer you a place, while a withdrawn choice means a course has been withdrawn by either you or the university or college.
