Unconditional offers - truly unconditional?

My son has unexpectedly been given an unconditional offer from his second choice uni if he makes it his firm choice. He’s still waiting to hear from his first choice. He’s very happy though as he’s had a few educational set-backs and this would give him some certainty for a change.

My question is - is this truly unconditional? If he fails altogether will they still honour it?

He’s taking a BTec so a lot of the modules are in the bag so it’s an unlikely scenario but I would love to know....

In 80s you got an ‘unconditional’ offer from Oxbridge of 2Es if you decided to take and pass the oxbridge entrance exam otherwise you accepted a conditional offer which was usually 3A’s. Everyone also had to pass the interview.
