Contextual Admissions Indicator Tool

The University of Liverpool is committed to making our admissions process as fair and equal as possible. To do this we look at the information applicants provide during the UCAS application process.

Are you eligible for a contextual offer?

A contextual offer is made when information you provide tells us that you have experienced barriers to your educational progression. To find out if you are eligible, please submit the information required into this Contextual Admissions Indicator Tool to find out if you meet our criteria.

Learn more about Contextual Admissions at the University of Liverpool.

If you are eligible for a reduced contextual offer, you do not need to do anything further. All information we need is provided in your UCAS application form and if your information does trigger a contextual offer, you will be informed in your offer.

If the information you provide does not result in a contextual offer but you feel you have had barriers to your educational progression, then please visit our Disrupted Education page as you may still be eligible for additional consideration.
