Your Offer

The Offer Letter

If you are offered a place on a postgraduate programme, your offer will be either:

Unconditional: This means that you do not need to send further proof of your qualifications or English Language level.

Conditional: This means that you must fulfil all the conditions before you are permitted to enrol. If an offer of admission is conditional on examination results or an English language test, evidence of these should be forwarded to the Postgraduate Registry as soon as they are available. Once you have met the conditions your offer will become 'Unconditional'.

You must now consider the variety of offers you may have received from different universities. If you wish to accept an offer of admission to study at Cardiff University it is essential that you complete and return the acceptance slip at the foot of your offer letter, or notify the Registry by email (to admissions@cardiff.ac.uk). We will consider you as having a firm place once you have accepted our offer and met any conditions specified in the offer letter.
