What is Clearing?
Clearing gives you the perfect opportunity to consider the best option for you starting in September 2025. Whether you change your mind about university or a course you want to take, your results surprise you or you're just starting to consider going to university at that time.
You can use Clearing to find a university place 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.
