Access and participation
From our very beginnings in 1826, ยายืะใ was founded to be open to all.
Nearly 200 years later, we are still committed to ensuring that all applicants have an equal chance of entering ยายืะใ regardless of background, ethnicity, age or disability. On this page, you can learn more about the ways ยายืะใ is putting our commitment into action.

Access ยายืะใ is our contextual offer scheme for applicants from groups that are underrepresented at ยายืะใ. Applicants that are eligible and successful in receiving an offer, will automatically receive an offer that is lower than the standard entry requirements for the programme.
