Contextual offers

We want to make sure that every student has an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Contextual offers enable us to offer some places that require a lower set of grades, or tariff points, than may be advertised in our standard entry requirements . These offers take into account individual circumstances that are beyond an applicant's control, and that can potentially impact learning and exam results, or confidence in applying to university.

I came to an open day and something just felt right about studying here. Compared to the other university open days I had been to for marine biology courses, Plymouth felt like the best option. There are so many opportunities here, and with how close it was to the sea, it just made me feel like this was the right place to study
