University of Plymouth makes contextual offers for 2027 entry: lower-grade offers for applicants from backgrounds that are underrepresented at university. It looks at IMD, your school, care experience, free school meals and more. A typical offer drops from A*AA to AAB (two grades lower).
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 Plymouth for 2027 entry.
Roughly two minutes with no sign-up to check your circumstances against every university's scheme.

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