Conditional Offer

Conditional OfferIf we've made you a conditional offer, congratulations! This is what you need to do next:


Step 1. Decide if you would like to accept the conditional offer.

It is important that you let us know if you would like to accept your offer, as you place from the course may be offered to someone else if we do not hear anything from you.

  • Undergraduate students who have applied through UCAS must accept their conditional offer online through UCAS's Track service. You will only be able to accept one offer firmly and one offer as an insurance choice, so choose carefully.
  • Postgraduate students who have applied online can accept a conditional offer through My Application, or can let us know by email or by posting back the reply slip included with their conditional offer letter. 
  • Undergraduate and Postgraduate students who have applied through an official representative can ask them to accept on their behalf.
  • Postgraduate students who apply for more than one course at Brunel may accept multiple conditional offers. However you are only ever able to accept one unconditional offer.

Step 2. Meet all the conditions of your offer (and tell us)

The conditions your offer are based on will be listed in your conditional offer letter. You must meet all conditions before we can make your offer unconditional. The conditions will fall under the following categories:

  • Academic conditions: Such as passing your exams with a certain grade, and sending us a scanned copy of your certificate or award when you do, or providing us with valid references. The exact conditions will be listed on your offer letter.
  • English Language qualifications: All our courses have their required English language level listed in the 'Entry Criteria' tab under the courses section. If you do not meet the requirements for your course then you may want to consider one of our Pre-sessional English courses, or taking a Brunel English Language Test
  • Passport: You must send us a scanned copy of your passport if you have not already. We need your passport information as we are required by law to pass these details to the UK government before we can give you a CAS number, which you need in order to apply for a visa. We also need to make sure your details are correct on our system.
  • Deposit or Official Sponsor Letter: Most courses require you to pay a £3000 deposit to confirm your place on the course, or proof of Official Sponsorship. Some exceptions are Distance Learning and Intensive foundation and English language courses, which have their own requirements. Find out how to make a payment to Brunel.
  • ATAS: A small number of Postgraduate and Research courses require you to apply for ATAS. You only need to do this if your offer letter says you need it. Find out more about ATAS
  • Length of Study Form: The UKBA has introduced new limits on the maximum time you can study under a student visa. Find out more about the new rules. All students will need to complete this short online form about any prior study before we can issue a CAS.

As you meet the conditions of your offer remember to let us know, so that we can send you your unconditional offer letter.

Once you have a conditional offer you are also able to apply for accommodation on campus.
