Contextual offers

In 2022, 20% of our first year undergraduate students came to us with a contextual offer, making the Law School one of the leading departments at the University of Warwick for the proportion of contextual offer holders.

The University of Warwick is committed to admitting the most talented students from a diverse range of backgrounds. In order to ensure that every application is treated fairly and judged on its merits, we consider an applicant’s academic potential in the context of their educational background and individual circumstances. We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates who meet the contextual eligibility criteria

We look at:

• Your school - exam performance and the number of students entitled to Free School Meals
• Your home postcode - the proportion of young people going to university and the level of deprivation
• If you have spent time in care
• If you are a refugee or an asylum seeker

If you meet any of our contextual data indicators you may be eligible for a 2 grade reduction to the standard offer.

_{*A Levels. Equivalent reductions will be given to students who are studying alternative qualifications.}

If you participate in and successfully complete Realising Opportunities or Pathways to Law you may receive a contextual offer, or a dual offer for the programme you are on. More informationLink opens in a new window
