Your next steps
There are two types of offer you can receive from us.
- Conditional: your offer depends on you achieving your predicted grades, or provided further information.
- Unconditional: you have already met the course requirements and your place is confirmed.
Once you have received decisions from all the universities or colleges you have applied to, you can decide which offers you would like to accept. Most people choose a ‘firm’ (first) choice and an ‘insurance’ (second) choice.
If you meet the conditions of your offer, you will automatically be accepted onto your course.
It is required that everyone working with children and vulnerable adults in England and Wales obtains a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
We require all teacher trainees to complete an enhanced DBS check.
Once you have accepted your place to study at St Mary’s we will send you an activation email to begin your DBS application via GBG Online Disclosures.
