Conditional and unconditional offers

Find out what conditional and unconditional offers mean, how they are made, and what they could mean for your next steps at the University of Salford.

If the University of Salford offers you a place, your offer will usually be conditional or unconditional.

Your offer is specific to you, so read it carefully. It will explain whether you need to meet any conditions and what to do next.

This page is a summary of our admissions process, including how we assess applications and make offers. It does not replace the University's Admissions Policy, which remains the authoritative source of information.

Conditional offers

A conditional offer means we would like to offer you a place, but you must meet certain requirements before we can confirm it.

For example, you may need to:

achieve particular grades or UCAS Tariff points
pass a specific qualification
meet an English language requirement
provide evidence of your qualifications
meet another requirement stated in your offer

Some courses may also have professional or non-academic requirements, such as an occupational health assessment or Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Unconditional offers

An unconditional offer means you have met the requirements needed for admission. This may be because you have already achieved the required qualifications or have been assessed in another way, such as through an interview, audition or portfolio.

You should still read your offer carefully. In some circumstances, you may need to meet non-academic requirements before you can register.
