Clearing is a great opportunity for students who have delayed their application or have not met the entry requirements for their course to find a place at a university. Clearing opens the summer before classes start (typically at the start of July), and offers lower entry requirements for a range of courses, including specialist courses in health and science.Once your child has their exam results, they may contact our team through Clearing to arrange their place on their chosen course (if there is room available). If they have a conditional offer but their exam results didnt go to plan, they can use clearing from results day, when we will have dedicated phone lines open to help them find a course.We recommend that parents and carers are on hand throughout this period to support their children. Some courses of interest may close before your child can claim a place and thus Clearing can be a stressful time.Find out more
