More than four out of five applicants have an offer (Part 2)

Reading the points charts for degrees and cert/diplomas

If no points are shown, this means no offers were made in round two. If the points are the same as in round one, in the great majority of cases, only a few offers were made; in some cases only a single offer may have been made, perhaps to take account of errors in round one which were not the applicants' responsibility.

Eight degrees (seven at LSB and materials science at UL) and more than 60 certificate/diploma courses offered places to all qualified applicants (this is indicated by the acrynom AQA).

Vacant places

Vacant places which were advertised on courses which were not filled in round one are now being snapped up, in some cases by people with high points, according to the CAO.

If you wish to apply for any of these places and you have not applied to the CAO previously you must get an application form (tel: (091) 509800) and pay a fee of £18. If you have applied already, there is no further application fee.

On applications, a printout of your form will be returned to you and you must insert the course(s) with vacant places into your order of preference.

You must insert your vacant place choice(s) higher in your list of preference than any offer which you have received to date. You may not re-order your original course courses.

Applicants for vacant places must meet the normal minimum entry requirements for the course(s) in question.
