How does Clearing work?

  • Clearing is not just for A-level students on results day. Clearing also helps you find a place if you have BTEC results or other qualifications. We've got more information on how it all works and how you can apply through Clearing.

  • Clearing is about matching you to the best course, so it's not a first come first served system. However, some courses are more popular than others so make sure you call us as soon as you're ready.

  • Yes, Clearing can work for you. Take a look at how Clearing was the right choice for other students who found their place at uni.
