At Coventry University, we believe every student should have the opportunity to reach their potential and succeed, regardless of their background.
Grades alone cannot tell us everything about your potential, your story and the challenges that you have faced. Coventry University’s Fair Access Scheme includes a contextualised admissions policy to help identify and support students from a range of backgrounds to gain fair and equal access to higher education.
What is a contextual offer?
We consider a range of factors relating to your personal circumstances that may have impacted your education. If eligible, we make a contextual offer which takes this additional information into account, reducing our standard offer by up to 24 UCAS Tariff Points.
How do I get a contextual offer?
We use data from your UCAS application form and if you are eligible and are waiting for your results, we will make you a reduced conditional offer.
We gather information from UCAS using their Modernised Contextual Data Service; this takes into consideration if your home postcode is in an area where there are less people going to university than the national average as well as other indicators.
