Guide to Clearing

What is UCAS Clearing?

UCAS Clearing is an opportunity to find a place at University before the academic term starts. From 5^th July you can apply through Clearing to see if there is availability to join a course prior to the start of term.

Clearing is open to anyone who matches the course requirements provided there is space left on the course, and you haven’t accepted a place at another University.

For example, maybe:

• You’re not holding an offer from a university
• Or, you have decided you now wish to attend university for the upcoming academic year
  
  

Applicants to all of our undergraduate courses need to apply through UCAS.

When is Clearing Open?

Clearing is from 5 July and closes in October (or when course capacities are met.)

You can apply as soon as you have your exam results.
