Your offer

Your offer letter

If your application for a postgraduate taught or postgraduate research course at Surrey is successful, you will be able to access a formal offer letter that you can use for official purposes.

• Postgraduate taught applicants: Access this through our applicant portal.
• Postgraduate research applicants: Access this through the Surrey self-service portal.

1. Accepting your offer

If you want to proceed, we recommend you accept your offer as early as possible.

You will need to firmly accept your offer to secure your place on the course. Any requested tuition fee deposits will need to be paid, or requested evidence of a formal sponsorship provided.

• Postgraduate taught applicants: Please refer to the ‘select your enrolment status’ section in the applicant portal
• Postgraduate research applicants: Please see the 'firmly accept your offer' task on the Surrey self-service portal.

Offer deadlines

The deadline to firmly accept your offer will depend on when you were made the offer. You'll be able to see your deadline when you login to your portal.

If you are not able to firmly accept your offer by the deadline, it may still be possible to confirm your place after the date if we have space on the course. We will withdraw an application if we do not have space on the course.

2. Providing evidence of your qualifications

If you’ve been asked to supply copies of qualifications you’ve already got, these can be uploaded to your application through our applicant portal. Once we have reviewed your documents we will update your application, or if necessary, we will request further documentation.

If you are unsure of what we are requesting, or have difficulties uploading you documents, please contact the Admissions team for support.

We will need a:

• Certificate for your qualifications
• Transcript
• Mark sheet or score report if possible
• Copy of your official documents (if these aren’t in English, we will also need an official English translation).

Learn more about additional entry requirements for international students.

Deadlines to provide evidence

Some requested documents may have deadlines that are stricter. Please check the “upload supporting evidence” task on the applicant portal for more details.

3. Once all conditions are met

Once all conditions have been met, your status will be updated and you'll be able to view your unconditional offer letter on the applicant portal. Your offer must be unconditional in order for you to register on your course.

If you're from outside the UK and need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for your visa application, your offer must be unconditional before we can issue your CAS.
