Southampton Uni Unconditional Offers

Does anyone have any idea how common it is to receive an unconditional offer from Southampton Uni? This includes offers that turn unconditional when you firm them :smile:

I'd you already have the required level 3 qualifications (A levels, BTECs) etc. then it's extremely likely than any offer would be unconditional (unless you're an international student and they specify a condition to confirm your familiarity with English, or something like that).

If you don't have the required level 3 qualifications yet then it would be extremely unlikely to receive an unconditional offer.

According to this from the University itself, they do not give out unconditional offers to anyone who has pending level 3 qualifications

The 'Unconditional if Firmed' practice was outlawed by the OfS years ago.
Regulator bans controversial ‘conditional unconditional’ offers during pandemic - Office for Students
Last year we heard about some of the less credible Unis making existing Conditional Firm offers Unconditional just before results - Unis clearly desperate for students - but that isnt the same as making an initial Unconditional offer to someone still taking A levels to induce them to go Firm.
