# What’s the difference between a conditional and unconditional offer?

A conditional offer means the university is offering you a place provided you meet certain conditions, usually exam results, subject requirements, or other stated criteria. An unconditional offer means the university is offering you a place without needing to meet further academic conditions, you're essentially guaranteed the place (though you still must meet other administrative or legal steps).
