Brunel University of London contextual offers

Brunel University of London makes contextual offers (lower entry requirements) to applicants whose background may have limited their opportunities. Here's who qualifies for 2027 entry and how much lower the offer is.

• Have a disability, learning difference or long-term health condition
• Are care-experienced or a care leaver
• Will be 21 or over when the course starts
