Summarised from University of Glasgow's published contextual offer policy. Meeting the criteria means University of Glasgow may make you a contextual offer, not that it will, and some courses (often medicine, dentistry and other heavily oversubscribed courses) have their own rules. Always check the university's own policy before relying on it. Data updated 5 November 2026.
