What the numbers mean

UCAS's provider figures count applications made through its main scheme, not Clearing, and every offer made on them. Counts are rounded to the nearest 5. Because most offers are conditional on exam results and applicants hold at most two, far fewer applicants are accepted than receive offers: 7,355 in 2025, or 15.9% of applications.

Warwick's offer rate has climbed quickly, from 63.5% in 2023 to 71.7% in 2024 and 78.6% in 2025, while applications stayed between about 45,000 and 47,000. International applicants received offers at a slightly higher rate than UK applicants in 2025 (81.3% against 76.9%).

Subject matters more than the overall figure. UCAS groups courses into broad subject areas: Medicine and dentistry made offers on 35.2% of applications and Law on 51.7%, while Mathematical sciences made offers on 87.3%. UCAS does not break these figures down to individual Warwick courses, and Warwick does not publish course-level offer rates on its public site.
