For some subject areas, we make alternative offers, including the completion of a MOOC to eligible applicants.

This means that if you successfully complete the relevant MOOC, as outlined in your offer letter, then you'll be eligible for a reduction of up to one A level grade (or equivalent) below the typical offer. You'll still need to meet essential subject requirements as outlined in your offer, as well as any English language requirements.

We'll make our assessment at the point of application and if an alternative MOOC offer hasn't been made, it means you're not eligible for a reduction. This is the case for some non-standard qualifications and foundation programmes. If we have concerns about your ability to undertake the programme, we reserve the right to only make the typical offer.
