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.

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

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.

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