University of Leicester makes contextual offers for 2027 entry: lower-grade offers for applicants from backgrounds that are underrepresented at university. It looks at IMD, outreach programmes, care experience, estrangement and more. A typical offer drops from A*AA to AAA (one grade lower). It also guarantees an interview or offer to some applicants.
Enter your postcode and school and our free checker automatically looks up IMD for you, then asks a few quick questions to work out whether you qualify for a contextual offer from University of Leicester for 2027 entry.

Summarised from University of Leicester's published contextual offer policy. Meeting the criteria means University of Leicester 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 .
