Where we receive a large number of applications, priority will be given to those from backgrounds underrepresented in higher education e.g., POLAR 4 Q1 (areas of low participation) and IMD Q1 (a measure of multiple deprivation), both of which are identified by postcode.
Further prioritisation may be considered if you have attended one of our target schools/colleges and/or you have participated in one of our outreach workshops in addition to a campus visit (open day or applicant day). Activities do not need to have been completed before the UCAS ‘equal consideration’ deadline to be eligible.
