Could you be eligible for a 16 Tariff Point (2 A level grades or equivalent) reduction?
Achieve your potential at Coventry University
We understand that your journey is unique, and grades alone cannot tell us everything about your potential, your story and the challenges that you may have faced. That’s why our admissions policy is designed to ensure everyone has fair and equal access to higher education.
What is Coventry University’s Fair Access Offer?
Our Fair Access Offer takes into account personal circumstances that may have impacted your education. It evaluates the context within which you have achieved your grades. If eligible, we make a contextual offer, which adjusts grade requirements to make higher education opportunities more accessible to you. For example, if you’re studying A levels, your offer will be automatically reduced by 16 UCAS Tariff Points (e.g. from BBB to BCC), or the equivalent for other qualifications, such as a BTEC National Extended Diploma (e.g. from DDM to DMM).
How do I get a Fair Access Offer?
We use data from your UCAS application form and if you are eligible and are still working towards your Level 3 qualifications, we will make you a reduced conditional offer.
We gather information from UCAS using their Modernised Contextualised 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. Find out more information about the data UCAS sends to us.
If you apply via UCAS for an undergraduate degree level course, are a UK student and have declared any of the criteria below you will also be automatically made a Fair Access Offer:
- have a disability
- are a care leaver
- are older than 21 at the start of your course
- are a refugee or asylum seeker in the UK
- are estranged from your parents
- have long-term caring responsibilities for someone in your family.
