What is Clearing?
Clearing is a second chance to secure a place at university, whether your grades are higher or lower than predicted, you have no firm offers, you want to make a different choice, or you applied late (after 30 June).
If you don’t hold any offers from universities, or have changed your mind about your firm choice, you can search and apply to study through Clearing. Universities will have a number of places available on various courses – the choice is yours!
How to apply through Clearing“I applied through Clearing to study Philosophy and Ethics and Psychology, which was exactly what I wanted to do. I hadn’t heard of Bath Spa University before, but the website gave the impression that the University really cares about the student's mental health, which was very important for me.
When I started in September, I was immediately shocked at the beauty of the University campus and how kind a lot of the students and staff were.”
