Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

Oxford Brookes University aims to provide equitable access to students with the potential to succeed. To achieve this, we make a holistic assessment, considering qualifications and experience in the context of personal and educational background. We make offers based on the evidence we can see of the skills and abilities required for success and show flexibility in our confirmation of a place, where there is evidence to show that grades may not fully represent future potential.
