How much does it take to receive UNCONDITIONAL Offer?

Right now I have a conditional offer for studying MSc Finance at ICBS. How much does it take for them to send me an unconditional offer if I met all requirements?

if you meet the requirements of your conditional then you don't need an unconditional, you are in!

If they wanted you as you are they would have given you an unconditional. They want you to get further qualifications, they gave you a conditional.

From what I know it goes like this: You get a conditional offer -> you meet the requirements of that same offer -> your conditional offer is changed in UCAS track to unconditional and that's when you know you're in.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess Z_z is asking how long it will take for them to confirm your place after you meet the requirements of your offer.

EDIT (a bit offtopic):

It's not the first time I'm hearing this but this isn't always true. Sometimes, if a student has already met the institutions requirements he is not given an unconditional offer. Instead, he is given a conditional offer which states that the student should send a proof of his qualifications (I guess this is specially true for international students), as they have no proof the student is telling the truth.

Actually, they're given an unconditional offer and then they are asked by the admissions tutor to show proof of the grades they displayed on UCAS. You then have to give your real copy of the certificate to the uni or you ask your school to refer your grades to the uni.

If he's studying an MSc in finance, I doubt he went through UCAS

A guy in my sister's class got an unconditional offer from Cambridge before taking his A-Levels. He had 23 As in AS level and eventually ended up with 22As in his A-Levels.

Yes, you are quite right! Yet I do not use UCAS. I want to know how much TIME does it usually take to change their conditional offer to unconditional on if I meet all requirements and send all original certificates, transcripts and so on?

from what i know unconditional for postgrad especially from the business school are only handed out to ppl who have actually completed their studies and have degree results etc (i.e. ppl already working and decided to study again) I got conditional for Finance also.

Maybe like the other poster mentioned, they may want to see all yr qualifications in person before they give you unconditional...

Only if you think that academics are the be all and end all.

No, actually. I was just talking about why he might have gotten an unconditional offer instead of the usual conditional.
