Clearing advice

Find out all about the Clearing process as this will help you work out the best route to take on results day itself.

You’ll be eligible for Clearing if you fit into any of the following categories. You:

• haven’t met the conditions of your offer from universities you’ve applied to
• didn’t receive any offers (or none that you wish to accept)
• apply after the UCAS deadline of 30 June 2024, 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.
• aren't waiting on results of any qualifications
• have changed your mind about the course or university you want to attend and wish to decline your current offer and release yourself into Clearing.

Think about where you’re at now compared to when you made your original choices – are your priorities and ambitions still the same or have they changed? This may affect your decisions on what and where you study in September.

Continue to research universities and think about what is most important to you. Maybe it's location, the subject or the facilities. Make some notes of questions you’d like to ask about the course or university.

Our Clearing courses are published on Friday 5 July 2024.

In the meantime, you can explore the courses we have on offer and what undergraduate study at UWE Bristol is like. Please be aware that not all courses are available in Clearing.

Consider writing up a Clearing shortlist before results day if you think you might want to change university or course.

Remember: you’ll be studying a subject for three or more years, so it needs to interest you if you’re going to succeed in it.

Don’t just pick a course because there are spaces.

Writing a shortlist

• Gather additional information to help with your shortlisting.
• Check out the career prospects for your course and the student satisfaction score.
• Find out more about the campus, the location and facilities.
• Check out the university's social media accounts to get a feel for the institution.

Visit our social media channels and The Students' Union at UWE website to find out what current students are saying about UWE Bristol.

As well as your original course preferences, it’s worth researching courses you may not have considered before. Something a bit different could take your career in a whole new direction. Courses with integrated foundation years can help make it more accessible so are worth considering too.
