How is my application dealt with?

After you apply

Once we have received your application you will receive an email acknowledgment and your application will be carefully considered by admission staff. Some of our departments may invite applicants to attend an interview or ask some applicants to provide further information. We will contact you directly by email if this applies to your application. Once a final decision is made, we will notify UCAS, and you will be able to view our decision on your UCAS Hub dashboard.


Step-by-step guides

For a more detailed description about what happens after you apply, you can read our step-by-step guides:


Undergraduate Admissions Policy

At Liverpool, we believe in treating each application individually on its own merits. In order to help applicants and their advisers to understand how we approach admissions, we publish our Undergraduate Admissions Policy.


Original or certified academic transcripts

For students who require entry clearance to study in the UK, you will need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). Once you have met all the conditions of your offer we require your academic documents before we can issue your CAS.

The University requires all applicants to provide original academic documents (academic transcript, degree certificate and evidence of English language) which verify their successfully completed qualifications. For international applicants we are directed by the UKVI to request this evidence. We will accept copies of academic documents during the application process, or you can send in original documents to the postal address at the bottom of this page. If you send in copies of your documents during the application process, the originals must be presented when you register at the University. On receiving any original documents in the post we will check these and return them to you promptly via a recorded postal service to the address we hold for you on record.

If you have applied to us using one of our recognised international representatives (agents) it is not necessary for you to send your original documents to us during the application process, however you must show your international representative these documents for verification and present them during registration.

We require all transcripts to be officially translated (if they are not issued in English) which can be done either by an official translation company, a British Council office or by your school/college/university. Please send all documentation to the Intermnational Admissions Team at our address below as soon as possible. This will avoid unnecessary delays.

Any programme offers that are made will be conditional on receipt of academic documentation. If you choose to provide copies of academic documentation during the application process then original academic documents (including English language) will be required at the point of registration.

We regret that the International Admissions Team will NOT be able to return certified copies of documents, but all original documents received will be returned to the address provided.

Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)

Step-by-step guide for UK/EU students

If you are a UK student, read on for details of what happens after you submit an application through UCAS.

September: UCAS Cycle Opens

Successful students start to receive offers through UCAS. An unconditional offer means that you have already satisfied the entry requirements; a conditional offer gives the minimum grades you need to achieve in your forthcoming examinations and any other conditions you must meet.


November onwards: Interviews

Some departments hold interviews prior to making any offer. Should you be required to attend an interview, you will receive an email about this.


January to April: Get to know your subject

We hope to invite you onto campus where you'll be able to meet the academics in your department, speak to current students, and find out all about what it would be like to study here. We will also run virtual events for offer holders.


February: UCAS Extra Opens

If you apply before the deadline but have not secured a suitable place (if you have been rejected by all choices and/or declined offers) from between mid-February and 30 June, you may apply through UCAS Extra.


September to May: Accepting Offers, applying for accommodation and student finance

Respond to all your university offers choosing one as FIRM and one as INSURANCE by the date given to you by UCAS. You will be invited to apply for University accommodation once you have received an offer from us. You should also apply for financial assessment during this period.


May to July: Exam season

Examinations take place.


July to August: Non A level exam results released

Non A level students should send a copy of their results directly to the Undergraduate Admissions Team. Once we have made a decision you can check your status on UCAS Track.


15 August: A-Level results released

A level results are released on 15 August. Shortly before the results are published we’ll contact you with details of our confirmation services.

Your confirmation status will be shown on your UCAS Hub dashboard on the day you receive your A level results. If you do not meet the entrance requirements, you may still be offered a place so please check your situation by calling our dedicated confirmation line. You may also ask to be considered for another course if you do not meet the requirements for your original choice but still wish to come here.


September: Welcome to your University!

Welcome Week in 2024 will take place on 16-20 September, with term starting on 23 September.  Welcome Week is a great opportunity to settle in, find your bearings and make new friends before the term starts.
