Clearing

What is Clearing?

If your results weren't what you were expecting, if you've changed your mind about where to study, or if you made a UCAS application but hold no offers, you can explore course vacancies by applying through Clearing.

Clearing can be the perfect solution if you need to make new plans fast. With a bit of preparation, we can help you make it feel less daunting and stressful.

Clearing officially begins in July but is most used around A-level results day in August.
