A second university in the UK’s Russell Group is to begin allowing international students to enrol with lower entry grades than would usually be allowed.
Earlier this month it emerged that the University of York had told staff to take a “more flexible approach” to students who missed their offer grades.
“In response to the current financial challenges, the university has decided to lower its tariff for all departments and programmes for overseas applicants,” an email quoted by the Financial Times said.
Now the University of Nottingham says that it, too, is “introducing reduced international offers for a limited number of undergraduate courses”. It goes on to say: “We hope to increase the number of participating undergraduate courses in this scheme for the 2025 application cycle and beyond.” A standard offer at the institution is A*AA or equivalent.
