Teacher and Advisor Support

Interested in Insightful Activities for Students, Teachers and Advisers - We've got your covered!

We not only offer a range of activities for your students but are also here to support teachers and advisers in their roles too. We will keep staff updated on the latest sector developments and deliver activities to ensure you have up-to-date knowledge to support your students with their transition to HE. Kindly see below upcoming events for your schools and colleges' students and staff.

We can also deliver a session that is aimed at parents and guardians at parents' evening or HE events. More information about this talk can be found on our HE talks page.

This annual summer conference is designed to equip teachers, careers leaders and pastoral staff with practical updates, insights, and tools to support students in their journey to higher education.

What are contextual offers?

As the University of Opportunity, we are committed to ensuring every applicant is assessed in a way that reflects their true potential. We understand that achievement is shaped by many factors, including the type of school you attended, the learning environment you experienced, and the context in which your qualifications were achieved. 

Our Contextual Offer policy provides additional consideration for applicants whose academic performance may not fully reflect their capability, enabling us to recognise promise, motivation, and future potential in a fair and balanced way. Contextual offers are adjusted entry requirements that take into account the challenges and circumstances you may have faced during your education. They recognise that grades alone don’t always reflect your true ability or potential to succeed at university.

How do contextual offers work?

Contextual offers are typically up to two grades lower than our standard entry criteria. For courses that require a portfolio or interview, your offer may even be made an unconditional offer if you meet the eligibility criteria.

CPD Sessions will be coming soon.
