How long does it take for offers to come through usually?

I’ve applied for English Literature for Cardiff, Reading and Liverpool, and English for Exeter. If anyone who has gotten offers from any of these Universities could let me know how long they took to get back to you that would be great!😊

It really depends on the course from what I can tell, I applied for geology (including at Cardiff and Exeter). Cardiff took 8 days and Exeter took 13. It depends on a lot of stuff though, I've got a few friends that applied for English Literature really early on and are yet to hear back so I expect it's gonna take a while. Hope I answered that alright. Best of luck hope you get the offers you want!

hi Sporty-foxhole

Thanks for your question. In general the University uses a gathered field approach and we do also have to follow the UCAS equal consideration requirements for applicants applying before the January deadline . You can read more about our approach to making a decision on your application here https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/applying/afteryouapply/
