Congratulations on receiving an offer from the University of West London, named the ‘Best university for Student Experience and Teaching Quality in the UK’ by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.

We are delighted that you have applied to the University and are considering coming here to study. 

The information on this page will guide you on what to do next and things you should consider between now and the start of your course. 

If you have any questions about your application, please get in touch with our Admissions team: 

Your offer explained

The offer letter you have received via the Applicant Portal will give you details of the offer we have made you and, if you applied via UCAS, the details of your offer(s) will also be on your UCAS Hub area. We may have made you a conditional or unconditional offer. Your offer is based on your application and the qualifications you already have or will be taking before joining the University. 

FAQs

  • I have received an ‘Unconditional’ offer – what does this mean?

    You have received an ‘unconditional’ offer because you have already met our entry requirements.

    If you have applied via UCAS

    In this case, if you choose to make us your firm choice there is nothing further that you will need to do to confirm your place and you will be committed to joining the University.

    If you have applied directly to the University via the UWL website

    To secure your place, you must respond to your offer as soon as possible. To respond to the offer, please log into the Applicant Portal.

  • I have received a ‘Conditional’ offer – what does this mean?

    You have received a ‘Conditional’ offer because you are currently preparing for exams or assessments.

    If you have applied via UCAS

    If you receive more than one offer you can accept two of the conditional offers that you receive:

    1. One as your first (FIRM) choice
    2. A second (insurance) choice as a back-up.

    This means that if you achieve the grades required by your first choice university you are committed to attend that university.

    You are not obliged to select an insurance choice if you don’t want to, but it may be a risk not to have a back-up.

    If you have applied directly to the University via the UWL website

    To secure your place, you must respond to your offer as soon as possible. To respond to the offer, please log into the Applicant Portal. You will need to meet the conditions of your offer before enrolling on your chosen course.

  • When do I need to respond to my offers?

    If you have applied via UCAS

    The deadline by which you need to respond to your offers will be clearly marked on your UCAS Hub account, as soon as you have received responses from all the universities you have applied to. Make sure you know when this deadline is so that you don’t miss it.

    If you have applied directly to the University via the UWL website

    The deadline by which you need to respond to your offer(s) will be clearly marked on your offer letter. Make sure you know when this deadline is so that you don’t miss it.

  • I have a Conditional offer. How do I send you proof of my exam or assessment results?

    If you have applied via UCAS
     
    The results for many qualifications are sent to the University directly through UCAS (eg A levels, BTEC, T Levels, IB Diploma or Access to HE Diploma). If this is not the case, we will ask you to upload proof of your results via the UWL Applicant Portal. If you are studying any other qualifications, or have obtained your qualifications prior to 2025, we will ask you to submit your results to us via the UWL Applicant Portal. It is vital that you do this as soon as possible.
     
    Please note if you are due to start a course in September 2025 all offer conditions must be fulfilled by 31 August 2025. If you are due to start a course on any other date please ensure you have provided the required results before the start of the course.

  • Why have I been made an offer for a different course to the one that I applied for?

    If the offer we have made you is for a different course to the one you originally applied for this could be for one of two reasons:

    • We were unable to make you an offer for your original course as you do not meet the entry criteria. However, we are willing to offer you a similar alternative course and hope that you will give it your serious consideration.
    • You may have added an incorrect course code on your form or you have asked us to change the course to which you have applied.

    If neither is the case, please feel free to contact our Admissions Team to discuss your offer.

  • I would like to defer entry – what should I do?

    If you wish to defer your entry to start your course in 2026, please email our Admissions Team and confirm this in writing. 

  • Is it possible to change the course I have applied for?

    It may be possible to change courses, however it will depend on whether there are places still available and you meet the entry requirements of the new course. If you would like to enquire into the possibility of changing courses, you should contact the Admissions Team in writing.  

  • What happens if I do not meet the conditions of my offer?

    If you do not meet the conditions of the offer, you should contact our Admissions Team as soon as possible. We may still be able to consider you for your chosen course, or in some instances we may be able to offer you a course with an integrated foundation year.

You will then be sent an email promoting our service and inviting you to register with us.  

You can also register with our service at any time, during enrolment or any time during your studies. To do so you can call us on 020 8231 2739 or send us an email to wellbeing@uwl.ac.uk. We encourage you to disclose your disability as early as possible, so the correct support can be set up to help you reach your full potential.
