A further review of the application will take place, taking in to account any alternative achievements and merits outlined in the personal statement, supporting reference and any contextual information provided by the student on the application.

"In some cases, this means we will accept applicants on lower tariff/entry grades than published. Where we are not able to offer you your chosen programme we will then consider you for a place on our foundation year programme. If we make an alternative offer, we will notify you of this."
