Here are our six (jargon-free) steps to guide you through the Clearing process.

You’ve probably already heard of Clearing, but do you know some of the most important things about it? You might be (pleasantly) surprised - a nice change after the year so far.

Whether you’re planning ahead for next September, or still have decisions to make about where to study this year, it’s always a good idea to visit a university in person.  It really is the best way to experience what’s on offer and get a feel for what it will actually be like.

Firstly, don’t panic.

Applying for university through Clearing can, quite frankly, be quite stressful.  If you don’t get the grades you were expecting or change your mind about where you want to study, it can suddenly seem very daunting having to start all over again.
