What is Clearing?

Clearing gives you the opportunity to consider the best option for starting in September 2026.

You can use Clearing if you:

• haven’t had any offers (or none 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 2026 and go straight into Clearing when it opens on 2 July 2026.

Please note that not all courses recruit during Clearing and your preferred option may not be available.
