Clearing at SOAS

Get ready for clearing

Clearing is your opportunity to secure a place to start university in September if you don’t already have a university offer, your grades are not as expected, or you have changed your mind.

It's part of the UCAS application process that helps students who have not yet secured a University place to find and apply for a course. You can use clearing if you: 

  • have received your results for all qualifications undertaken 
  • did not receive any UCAS offers (or any you want to accept) 
  • did not meet the conditions of your UCAS offers 
  • have changed your mind and want to apply for a different programme or to a different institution
