Clearing is your opportunity to explore options one final time before September, whether you’re applying to university for the first time or have already applied elsewhere.

No matter your circumstances, our team are here to support you through the process and help you find the perfect course for your goals.

You can use Clearing if:

You have offers but you’ve changed your mind about what or where you want to study
You didn’t get the results you were expecting on A-Level results day and haven't met the conditions of your offers
You didn’t receive any offers (or any you wanted to accept)
You’re applying to university after 30 June 2025
