Alternative Offers

An alternative offer doesn't mean the end of your journey with us. It means we've reviewed your application carefully and identified another course that matches your skills, qualifications, and interests. Many applicants who receive alternative offers go on to thrive in their new course and graduate successfully.

We've Found Another Route for You

When a place cannot be offered on your chosen course we will consider you for an alternative course that we believe is suitable for you based on your qualifications, experience, interests, or career goals. Our aim is to help you continue your journey into higher education and find a course where you can succeed and achieve your ambitions.

Why Have I Received an Alternative Offer?

Every application is reviewed individually by our Admissions team. When considering an alternative offer, we take into account factors such as:

  • Your qualifications and academic background
  • Information provided in your personal statement
  • Relevant work or professional experience
  • The subjects you have previously studied
  • The entry requirements for available courses

We will explain why your alternative offer has been made and provide details about the course we are recommending.

3. Decide Whether the Course Is Right for You

Many students discover that their alternative offer introduces them to a course that is an even better fit for their interests and future goals. Before making a final decision, we encourage you to explore all the information available and speak with our team.

What If I Don't Think This Course Is Right for Me?

While we carefully consider every alternative offer, we understand that our suggested course may not always be the right option for you.If you would like to be considered for a different course, please contact us through your e:Vision account and tell us:

  • Your full name
  • Student number
  • The course you would like to be considered for

Our Admissions team will review your request and confirm whether you meet the entry requirements for your preferred course.

Please Note: Unfortunately, we cannot reconsider applications for the original course where a decision has already been made. If you wish to be considered for that course in the future, you would need to submit a new application for a later intake.
