After an offer is made this will be notified to applicants through UCAS. Confirmation will be emailed by the Admissions and Access Service and this communication will also include Terms and Conditions which applicants should read carefully in advance of replying to their offer(s) on UCAS Track.

We aim to make decisions before 16 May on all applications received by the 31 January deadline.

Track your application on UCAS 

Your offer will be either:

• unconditional (if you already meet the requirements for your course. However, there may still be some non-academic conditions you have to meet and we may need to verify your qualifications)
• conditional (if you still have qualifications to complete, such as academic grades and/or meet English requirements).

If your offer is conditional, it will normally be at the standard offer level (as shown in our individual subject entries), but we also make slightly lower offers, which we call contextual offers.

If you are unsuccessful, you should check the entry requirements and offer level for your chosen course. Not meeting the entry requirements is the most common reason why applications are turned down.

Once you've accepted the place, you will need to meet any conditions attached to your offer. Your place will then be confirmed in the summer.

When you have made your choices, log into your UCAS Hub to notify UCAS. You must respond by the deadline given to you by UCAS, otherwise your offers will be declined.

You cannot easily change your firm (and insurance) choices, and so you must think carefully before you make a decision.

Guidance from UCAS on replying to offers explains reply deadlines and different kinds of offer combinations.

Your contract with the University begins as soon as you accept your offer. You have the right to cancel your acceptance within 14 days for any reason.

Applications from UK and EU students are considered by Queen’s for entry throughout the remainder of the application cycle (30 June 2024) subject to the availability of places.

Congratulations on making a great choice and taking your place at Queen's.  We've put together some guides to get you ready for the next steps including details about your welcome pack, terms dates and enrolment and registration.

Applicants for courses in Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy will receive instructions on how to complete an online application for an AccessNI Enhanced Disclosure check. Please take care with completion and provide the correct verification of identity, if this is requested, as we will be unable to process your application without this. As there are tight deadlines, please submit the application as quickly as possible.

If your offer asked that you forward copies of previous qualifications, already achieved (eg GCSE English, Mathematics and Science), you should have sent a copy of your results to the Admissions and Access Service, by the date confirmed in your offer.  If you have not done so, you should forward a scanned copy by email immediately. As stated, original documentation will be required at Registration in September.

The University will make decisions on all applications which are conditional (Firm and Insurance) on an ongoing basis as results are received and will notify UCAS formally. Applicants will then receive decisions through UCAS and not direct from the University.

If, for any reason, your results will not be available within the normal anticipated timescales, please advise the Admissions and Access Service as soon as possible and keep us updated on the position.

Conditional offers are expressed in terms of specific grades or marks in A-levels and AS-levels or other qualifications. The University does not make offers in terms of the UCAS tariff. In order to be guaranteed admission, applicants must precisely meet the conditions of the offer. Some flexibility in the grades accepted is likely to be possible, though this will be dependent on the competition in individual subject areas and on government funding which determines the number of places available for NI and EU students.

Where applicants have not quite met the conditions of their offer, a range of factors is taken into account in deciding whether or not to confirm a place. While Queen’s specifies offers in terms of three A-levels for most of its degree courses, performance in additional subject(s) at AS/A-level can be very important at Confirmation. Other information considered includes:

Details of the grade obtained in each A-level and AS-level module will be available to the University in August and may be used to distinguish between applicants in tie-break situations during the Confirmation and Clearing period.

A* grades may be used in borderline cases.

Clearing provides an opportunity for students to find a course of their choice through UCAS. You will need to check University and/or the UCAS website for details of Clearing vacancies.

Details of courses with Clearing vacancies at Queen's are listed at www.qub.ac.uk/clearing.

If, having received your results, you wish to be considered for an alternative course, please complete an Enquiry Form.

It is essential for applicants who receive changed course offers notified via UCAS Track to take the necessary action. If you fail to do so within five days, UCAS will decline the offer on your behalf.

Some information regarding the application process and next steps is quite specific to international students so we have created a subsection for it here: International Undergraduates

It contains information about Immigration/Visa/CAS procedures and important details about fees and funding.
