Please help, how many offers can I accept max? BSc Business and Marketing

Hi, please help me with some advice. I know very little about the whole application process. I have 1 offfer which I have to accept withing 14 days. I am in the middle of an application to another university. Now I don't know what to do. On one hand I want to accept the offer, I liked how easy everything was with that university and their offer was quick, I liked that, on the other hand the other university has easier modules for the same degree - BSc Business and Marketing, I've read their modules list, the study material looks easier but they want more documents that's why I am still working on my application. If I don't accept the 1st offer I have no guarantee the 2nd university will make an offer but there is a good chance. I spent a lot of time chatting to one of their advisors and now if all of a sudden I tell them I have accepted an offer from another uni it will feel really akward. I know my priority has to be the best offer but still. Can I accept 2 offers and decide later which uni I prefer? Can I accept more than 1 offer?

You accept one firm and one insurance choice, but only when all your choices have replied. All your other offers are declined. You can’t choose between your firm and insurance choice. Your firm always has first refusal over accepting you, regardless of the grades you achieve.

Thank you but what do you mean 'only when all your choices have replied'? Does this mean to wait for the 2nd uni to see what happens, if they will make me an offer? If I wait for that it can be more than the 15 days I have for accepting the 1st uni offer. And will that offer get cancelled if I don't accept it within 15 days? If I accept it now does that mean it's my firm choice?

If you have applied via UCAS, you cannot physically accept an offer before all your choices have replied, IE made you an offer or rejected you.

Have a read of this page which explains more:

I will read that, thanks. I applied directly to the universities, not via UCAS.

Okay, the majority of undergraduate courses in the UK are applied to via UCAS. For that reason the advice above and the linked page won’t apply.

You’ll need to juggle conflicting acceptance deadlines or work out whether accepting actually commits you to anything. Unless you put down a deposit, it’s probably not binding in which case you can accept and then wait and see happens with your remaining application(s).
