Clearing top tips
Tip #1: Do your research
Most universities will publish a list of courses with vacancies available through Clearing. You can find more information about the courses available at Bath Spa on our Clearing page. Spend time considering the courses you may be interested in as well as the university as a place to study. Make a note of everything you're looking for, and bookmark any relevant pages so you can easily find the information again.
Tip #2: Ask questions
When you're talking to us on the phone, you might want to ask about things like accommodation for Clearing, wellbeing support, careers and placement opportunities, and more. Don’t be afraid to talk to university admissions teams if you have questions. Get in touch with our Clearing helpline on +44 (0)1225 875550.
Tip #3: Have all your details ready
When you get in touch with the University, you'll need to know the name and UCAS code of the course you're interested in, as well as providing details such as your name, address, and level 3 qualifications – such as A and AS-levels, BTEC Diplomas and the Welsh Baccalaureate. You may also want to have your personal statement to hand, and any relevant experience for the course you're applying to.
Tip #4: Don’t panic!
We understand that you might feel stressed on results day, but your wellbeing should be your first priority. Don't rush into accepting the first offer you get. You can always think about any offers you receive through Clearing before submitting your choice in the UCAS Hub. We're here to support you through the day and help you feel relaxed about your decision.
