What is Clearing?
Clearing is the process universities use to give students a final chance to study in the upcoming academic year. The courses have slightly lowered entry requirements, and universities do their best to match students with the most suitable course for them.
What if I don't get the results I expected?
The main thing is not to worry. If you don't get on to the course you applied for, contact our Clearing hotline on 0333 733 1856 to see if we have vacancies on an alternative course.
How do I find out about vacancies?
Vacancies will be listed in the UCAS search tool on their website, as well as on our University website. Although these are both updated regularly, to get the most up-to-date information, it's best to call us.
How many verbal offers can I get?
There is no limit to the number of universities you can call, or verbal offers you can get; however, do keep in mind you can only submit one application, and places can fill up quickly.
Once your place is confirmed, you may need to think about your accommodation and about contacting Student Finance England regarding your student finance.
Already applied for a loan but your details have changed due to Clearing?
If you have already applied for your loan with Student Finance England but your details have changed, you will need to update these by logging in to your account.
Haven't applied for a loan yet?
Student Finance England may not be able to process your application in time for the beginning of your course, but they will make sure you have some money as close to your start date as possible.
