Northumbria University is committed to supporting and welcoming high quality students to study with us, from all backgrounds.鈥� 

We want Northumbria to be an inclusive, accessible option and aim to support applicants to achieve their goals and ambitions.

We use a range of flexible admissions options to support students to access study at Northumbria. This may include a lower offer than our standard entry requirements and include:

• Contextual Offers: Using both academic performance and personal circumstances from UCAS applications when assessing applications.

• Aspirational Offers: Encouraging students to aim for the best results they can achieve by making standard offers to students who are predicted slightly below our standard requirements.

• Dual Offers: Standard offers which include a reserved place on an extended degree with foundation year for applicants who do not meet their standard degree offer.

• Alternative programmes: Offering alternative degrees where applicants do not meet the standard criteria for an offer.

• Destination Northumbria: Providing additional resources, guidance and a strong support network to help develop student’s skills and knowledge in preparation for undergraduate study, all applicants will be invited to join our supported entry scheme. Eligible applicants will earn 8 points, equivalent to UCAS tariff points when applying to Northumbria.
