We are committed to ensuring that higher education is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or experiences.
Our contextual admissions schemes are one of the ways we do this.
What is contextual admissions?
Contextual admissions means that we use additional information to understand and recognise your potential to succeed at UEA. Using this insight, we could provide you with an offer with reduced entry requirements to study at UEA.
How could UEA apply contextual information to my application?
If you are eligible for one of our contextual admissions schemes, you could be made an offer to study with us with lower entry requirements than the ones advertised on our website as our typical offer.
If you are applying for a course that requires an interview or audition, UEA may use contextual information as part of the screening process to decide who to invite to interview (please note that interviews are not guaranteed). To check if your course requires an interview, please use our course finder.
Our MBBS Medicine courses (A100 and A101) do not use contextual data as part of the screening processes.
Our schemes
If you are living in England and applying for an undergraduate course you may be eligible for contextual admissions through one of our schemes. You don’t need to do anything to be considered – our admissions team will process your contextual offer automatically, based on the data we and our partners already hold.
GCSE and subject requirements
All GCSE and subject requirements will remain for all contextual offers.
