Can I apply before I have my final results, and how do I share these with Imperial?

Applying before you have your final results

If we want to offer you a place, but you have not yet taken your exams, then we would usually make you a 'conditional offer'.

This means we will guarantee you a place at Imperial subject to you satisfying the conditions of your offer, such as achieving certain scores in your final qualifications and gaining an ATAS certificate for certain courses.

You can submit your results after you have applied; this is usual practice in the UK and is the reason why you must specify which exams you are due to take on your UCAS application.

Sharing your final results with Imperial

UCAS should automatically send us the results for the following qualifications, which means you don't need to send them yourself:

  • A-level
  • Pre-U Certificate
  • International Baccalaureate
  • Irish Leaving Certificates
  • Scottish Advanced Highers
  • STEP

If we don't receive your results, we will contact you.

If you are studying a qualification that is not included in the list above, we will ask you to submit your results/certificates to us by email as soon as you receive them. We will confirm the deadline for these results within your offer conditions.

If you have already completed certain qualifications towards the entry requirements at the point at which you apply, if made an offer, you will be required to send us evidence of these qualifications.
