What is Clearing?
Applying to university through Clearing
What is University Clearing and how does it work? Clearing is a part of the UCAS application process. If you are yet to secure a place at university, Clearing can help you find and apply for the programme you want to study.
Perhaps you didn’t get the grades you needed for the university course you originally applied to. Clearing provides the perfect opportunity to secure a place on another programme.
You can also apply for a place at university directly through Clearing if you haven’t made an application this year.
