If you’ve met and exceeded conditions for your firm choice, you might be thinking about looking for an alternative course.
Adjustment is a chance for you to reconsider where and what to study. If you’ve had a conditional firm choice accepted – and therefore made into an unconditional firm choice – you could potentially swap your place for one on another course you prefer.
Adjustment is available from A level results day (13 August 2020), until 31 August. It’s entirely optional, and a lot of competitive courses will be full – but other applicants might have missed their conditions or swapped a course too, so it could be worth seeing what’s available.
You might be happy where you are, but with our Adjustment service, it’s possible you could swap where you’re studying. So if you’re curious, take a look at what’s available:
31 August 2021 • Undergraduate ✓
