What replies can I give to my undergraduate offers?
Firm acceptance – this is your first choice.
If we've given you an unconditional offer, the place is yours! If we've given you a conditional offer, the place is yours if you meet the offer conditions.
All you need to do is firmly accept either option in UCAS Hub.
Insurance acceptance – the backup choice to a conditional firm acceptance.
We advise that you pick somewhere that you like and you're happy with, just in case you don't meet the requirements of your firm choice. You can't choose between your firm and insurance when you get your results, so make sure you're happy with which is your firm and which is your insurance before you reply.
Decline – you'll need to decline any other offers you get.
You don't need to wait until you have all your replies. If you have your offer from us and want to firmly accept it, you can decline the other offers in UCAS Hub.
You can only accept one firm choice and one insurance choice (if you choose to have one). You must decline all other offers.
Where can I find out more before making my decision on my undergraduate offer?
As an offer holder, you are invited to attend an in-person or virtual Offer Holder Day where you can attend taster sessions, to find out what it's like to study your course at UEL, ask questions, get to know your lecturers and chat with current students and alumni.
