Clearing 2025
Find out what Clearing is, how it works and key dates.
What is Clearing?
Clearing gives you the perfect opportunity to consider your options if you are looking to start your undergraduate degree in September 2025.
Whether you have changed your mind about the university or course you have chosen, are applying for the first time or get different results from the ones you were expecting, you're in control.
You can use Clearing if you:
- haven’t had any offers (or none that you wish to accept)
- didn’t meet the conditions of your offer
- did meet the conditions of your offer but have changed your mind
- aren't waiting on the results of any pending qualifications
- apply after the UCAS deadline of 30 June 2025, and go straight into Clearing when it opens on 5 July.
Please note that not all courses recruit during Clearing and your preferred option may not be available.
We're here to answer your Clearing questions and you can find more information at UCAS Clearing and results day.
