Non-standard applications
Non-standard cases will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. For example, if the applicant falls just below the required UCAS points, they should go to the academic for an interview so they can assess their suitability. It is down to admissions and academics to review these applicants and to only accept them if we believe they can succeed.
