Lower PARTNERS Offer

If you decide to apply to the PARTNERS Programme Supported Entry Route, and you are eligible, you will be considered for a PARTNERS offer for the degree programme(s) you have applied for.

Please Note: You are not currently able to apply for Business Accounting and Finance (NN14) through the PARTNERS Supported Entry Route.

If you receive a PARTNERS offer from the University, the offer will be lower than the typical offer from the University. As a general guide, the offer may be phrased like this:

Typical Offer
AAB at A level

PARTNERS Offer
BBB at A level, plus successful completion of the Assessed Summer School

Please note: if the course you are applying for has any additional selection processes, such as interview or portfolio submission, you would still need to go through this process before any offer may be made.

The offer is lower because it also requires you to pass a summer school that you complete once you have finished your exams at the end of Year 13/final-year college.
