Who can apply in clearing?
There are lots of reasons why you may apply through clearing. You might have decided to change your subject or career path. No matter what your situation, clearing can open up exciting opportunities.
You can use clearing if you:
- you’re applying for a place with us after 30 June 2025
- you didn’t receive any offers from universities or if you didn't receive an offer from a university that you wish to attend
- you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
- you’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your application
It's worth remembering that you'll automatically be entered into UCAS clearing if you do not receive an offer from either your conditional firm or your conditional insurance choices.
成人B站 is open to any student who wants to apply to a university, regardless of the qualifications they are currently studying (such as BTECs). Mature students can also use clearing, along with international students. If you are an international student, you should aim to go through clearing as soon as you have your grades. This will give you the time to obtain the necessary visas to be eligible to study in the UK.
When does clearing start and end?
成人B站 officially starts on Saturday 5 July. However, for many students clearing starts with A-level results day on Thursday 14 August 2025, this is because you will not be able to enter clearing until you have your exam results.
Mature students, and those with existing grades, can begin to apply from 5 July.
Applying to us through clearing is quicker than your initial UCAS application and often takes place over the telephone. You can still apply to us through clearing if you have not made an initial UCAS application to any universities this year.
We have places available on a range of courses. To secure your place for 2025 call us on 01905 855111.
What do you need to know?
Here's our step-by-step guide to clearing:
- We will publish a list of courses which still have places available.
- Using our course list you can research possible courses ahead of time that you might wish to apply for and put them in priority order. You might wish to think about maximising your choices by considering a joint course with another subject instead of a single subject course.
- Entry requirements for courses may vary and you can always ring us to ask any questions you might have.
On the Telephone:
- Don’t Panic! Our staff are prepared, friendly and ready to answer your questions. We will help you as much as we can. Although it might be tempting to ask a parent or guardian to call us, we do need to speak to you personally on the phone as there may be questions you need to answer. Our clearing hotline number is 01905 855111.
- When you call us on 01905 855111 please have to hand your grades, UCAS number and the course you'd like to study. If you can’t get through to us immediately do keep trying. Although clearing can be very busy we are here to answer your calls and will speak to you as soon as possible.
