Receiving an offer

All applications to the University of Worcester are carefully considered by an admissions tutor (an academic member of staff from the relevant course area), whose job is to view applications. They will make one of the following offers or responses to you through UCAS:

  • an Unconditional offer, (you have achieved the entry requirements)
  • a Conditional offer (you need to achieve specified entry requirements before you are accepted)
  • regretfully reject your application (this does not prevent you from applying again in a subsequent year)

Good luck with your preparation and we hope that you will become part of our International Community at the University of Worcester.
