Information from this Institution
Institution´s policy towards use of 14-19 Diplomas
Please refer to our website: http://www.bris.ac.uk/14-19qualifications-changes
Institution´s policy towards use of the Extended Project
The University is supportive of the requirement for Diploma students to undertake an Extended Project as part of their Diploma programme. The University recognises that some A Level students may also choose to offer the Extended Project. In such cases some admissions tutors may make two alternative offers, one of which involves success in the Extended Project (e.g. either AAA at A Level or AAB at A Level plus Extended Project).
Institution´s policy towards use of parental education data
UCAS will be providing additional contextual data on UCAS forms from September 2007, e.g. whether an applicant has ever spent time in care. The University does not currently use this information to inform its admissions decisions but will keep this under review. If the University decides to use this additional data for selection purposes in future admissions cycles, the Admissions Principles and Procedures will be updated accordingly.
Institution´s policy on Unit Grades
The University of Bristol does not currently use unit grade information either for selection purposes or as part of offers. In some marginal cases, unit grade information may be used to inform decisions about applicants who have missed the terms of their offer at Confirmation. Unit grade information is being collected for research purposes, and the outcome of this research may inform the University´s future policy towards unit grade information.
