How our colleges and schools select undergraduate students. How we select applicants Meeting our entry requirements enters you into our selection process. We consider all the information in your application before making our admissions decision. Making offers to applicants An offer to study at Edinburgh will be either 'conditional' or 'unconditional'. Widening access offers Widening access offers refer to the extra consideration we give to applicants who have faced certain barriers. Check if you might be eligible for a widening access offer and what this means for you. Interviews, tests and portfolios Interviews and admissions tests do not normally form part of our admissions process, but there are some exceptions for specific programmes. Admissions statistics Our statistics detail the numbers of applications we receive, what offers we make and the number of these offers that are accepted. Criminal records checks We require criminal records checks for a small number of degree programmes that lead to professions working with children or vulnerable adults.
