Courses: Programmes with a Foundation Year aren't included. The checker answers for University of Reading as a whole, so check the policy for the course you're applying to.
Summarised from University of Reading's published contextual offer policy. Meeting the criteria means University of Reading 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 .
