WHAT IS AN OFFER FROM A UK UNIVERSITY? UK universities will make an offer of a place to those students they are willing to accept. The offer will be communicated through the individual student UCAS account. Offers are usually conditional. This means that if a student meets the conditions of the offer, the university place is secured if it is a Firm choice. An offer may be set out like this 38 IB points with no lower than 7,6,5 at HL. Offers are usually very specific to the course and may include TOEFL/IELTS requirements or additional tests such as the STEP examination. • Once all 5 universities have responded to the application, the student can only choose 2 offers. • One is accepted as FIRM - this is the one you want to attend. • One is accepted as INSURANCE and is typically one with a lower offer which you are happy to attend if you don’t meet the Firm offer conditions. • The other 3 are declined.
